These are two mutually exclusive APIs that are frequently, but not necessarily, used in conjunction. Alarm = Schedule some action to occur at a specified time (broadcast event, start service, etc). Service = Execute some action in the background (ex: sync app with the cloud). If you need to ensure your alarm continues to be set and repeating after a reboot, you would do as Kris already suggested. A Service would not be required for that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
