You have a couple of options for communicating with a service. You can either create an AIDL interface to communicate via pre-defined methods. (This is usually necessary if your service is running in another process.)
If your process is running in the same process then you can simply communicate with the service via your usual java method/members. All you need to do is play around a bit and it becomes very self-explanatory. As always, stick with the docs: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html On Fri, Oct 8, 2010 at 6:58 AM, DragonFlyJones <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm new to Android and I'm porting an iPhone app I did.
