I'm trying to understand a curiosity that I've recently come across. I have an IntentService which handles a message. Occasionally, as part of that processing, I created a Handler to have some code run in the future. Of course, the onHandleIntent() returns and I then see onDestroy() called. However, at the proper time, I still see the Handler run. This is what I originally wanted, but I'm wondering how it's still running, since the handler is tied to its originating thread, which is supposed to have already died.
Another thing I noticed in the debugger is that these IntentService threads never go away even though onDestroy() was called. e.g. if I fire 10 messages for the service to handle at various times, I see 10 service threads in the debugger. I'm not sure if they just haven't been GC'd or if I'm doing something wrong and they're hanging around. Can anyone shed some light on these questions?
