You are welcome to use the command pattern, with the activity calling startService() when it needs work done, and using any number of means to have the service report results back, including: - sending a PendingIntent over as an extra on the Intent passed to startService() - sending a Messenger over as an extra on the Intent passed to startService() - using an ordinary broadcast Intent -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
