No. If you start a service with startService() it is supposed to quit itself, otherwise it will never die. It's best to pick one of bind or start and stick with it, unless you are really sure what you are doing. Don't worry about the service dying, remember that a service is just a lifecycle construct. If you bind() to it in each activity when your activities are gone the service will go away too. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
