First, services have no UI, only activities do. So, your service would either need to broadcast an Intent (that an activity of yours would pick up) or set up a Notification. And, at that point, you may as well get rid of the service, and use AlarmManager to broadcast your Intent at the desired time. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.3 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
