That depends on how many third party UIs you are seeking to have built for your app. If the answer is "zero", then you probably do not want a separate process. > what are the pros/cons of using a separate process with AIDL vs. a > local service? Pros: If you are making a public API for third party UIs to use, this is your only practical option. Cons: Extra memory usage. Extra CPU usage when communicating between them. Extra application complexity.
