I got a question related to this.
I have an activity and a service. Right now they communicate via 2 connections with 2 binders like this: Activity binds to Service Service sets up callback binding to Activity Activity calls remote function in service over AIDL-thing ... ... Service loads current data from sqlite DB. Service starts thread and does some work. Service saves the new state into the sqlite DB. Work-Thread on Service is done. now : Service sends a notice back to the Activity telling the activity the operation has completed. This is either done by a callback if the Activity is still up or with the Notification-functionality ( the little icon thing on top of the screen ), if the activity is down. ( note: when the activity goes down, the service learns of that fact. so when the work-thread is done, I know about the state of the Activity ). now my question: Since the communication between my service and my activity ( in either direction) is pretty simple ( just function calls, no other data submitted), I was wondering if I could do the thing simply by sending intents back and forth. I know how to send intents from the Activity to the Service ( startService() ), but how do I send intends the other way? With sendBroadcast(Intent intent) from the Context - class? I feel like if I could just send Intents back and forth it would make things easier.. Or am I under a wrong impression here?
