Based on the code you have listed here, that's because you're never assigning a value to dssShow. I am not quite certain why you are calling both bindService() and startService(). While there are occasional places where both are required, it is a bit unusual. Also, bear in mind that bindService() and startService() are both asynchronous. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
