In the final onDestroy(), where by "final" I mean "not counting any onDestroy() triggered by a configuration change, since you want to pass the ServiceConnection and AsyncTask to the new activity instance". Getting binding right with an activity given configuration changes is a PITA. If you are using fragments, you may be able to bind from the fragment and use setRetainInstance(true) to minimize the pain, though I haven't tried this combination yet. > If my main activity opens another activity (a > menu to filter the data) do i need to unbind on pause and rebind on resume?
