I've been reading Mark Murphy's books about Android programming and I am having trouble understanding some things about services. As I understand it there are "local" and "remote" services that I can create. However, what I don't understand are the use cases for when you would use one over the other. Here's basically what I need to do and I'm not sure about which service type to use. I want to create an application and a homescreen widget that both get data from a service. I had in mind a service where the application and the widget could register a callback with the service to get data updates. Is that best done by a remote or a local service, or does it matter? Can either one be used? Any hints or tips would be great. Oh, if it matters the app, widget, and service will be in a single apk. Thanks.
