Thank you both for taking the time to reply. I read about ContentProvider and also read the thread you gave me. It definitely looks like CP is the best approach for me. So I will have the service write data to the database via CP, and the Activity will use CP to display data. I wonder if this adds any unneeded overhead to the whole application. The application runs on a WM8505 based Chinese tablet with only 128 MB of RAM. The purpose of the entire hardware and software is to record and display two values. I really hope the hardware is good enough for the requirements.
Thanks again!
