To a running service, no. onBind() is only called once per distinct Intent, and you do not want to bind multiple times from the same activity, anyway. However, bear in mind that the primary -- perhaps complete -- reason you are binding is to get a Binder. You can supply TRIP_INFO via a method call on the Binder in onServiceConnected(). Passing data via extras is used when you are using startService() to send commands, rather than binding. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
