Well, you also have to pass the IBinder object, since you can't get that any other way. And, in the OP's case, you have to pass the AsyncTask too, so it can be attached to the new activity instance. And if you supplied some sort of listener interface to the service for callbacks, you have to pass that as well, all via onRetainNonConfigurationInstance(). None of these are intrinsically difficult, but trying to explain it to newcomers to Android (e.g., students in a course) is not especially pleasant. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 3.1 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
