I have never really looked at LVL. Using a bound service there is annoying.
Anyway, you're going to have to block the IntentService background thread, which sucks IMHO, but I can't quite see how to avoid it. So, here's what I'd do: -- Override onStartCommand() to call bindService() on your IntentService to bind to the LVL, then chain to the superclass -- In the background thread, do the rest of your work, then block until the service has been bound (CountDownLatch, Object#wait(), whatever) -- In onServiceConnected(), do whatever you need to do to allow the background thread to proceed (details depends on whether you are using CountDownLatch, Object#wait(), whatever) -- When you are done with the synchronous LVL work, call unbindService() on your IntentService On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 9:39 PM, Zsolt Vasvari <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, here's what I am doing: > > I have a Daily Processing alarm, which among many other (synchronous) > things, as the last thing it does is check of the app's license via the LVL > service.
