Yeah if the work it is to do is short (not blocking for network or UI or whatever), this works well and can also supply a result through the version of sendBroadcast() that returns the result when done. You can also use startService() to send a command to a service without needing an aidl interface... though here getting a result back is a little more tricky. It can be accomplished by including a PendingIntent in the startService() intent extras, but at that point it is probably easier to bite the bullet and make a real aidl interface. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
