Donal,
No, a service is a service, and a binder is a binder.
The binder you get in the callback is the binder returned by the
service's onBind.
This example:
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/LocalService.html
has a binder implementation that returns a reference to its service, so
you can do this
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
IBinder binder) {
LocalService.LocalBinder binder = (LocalService.LocalBinder) binder;
*LocalService service = binder.getService();*
}
This example has one flaw: it leaks a service reference (since
LocalBinder is a non-static inner class of LocalService). Using a static
inner or a top-level class for LocalBinder, fixes that (AFAIK).

So it doesn't like the cast from binder to Service?
How can I fix that do you know? What am I missing from the example?
