That's not "in the background" - the activity manager will keep your process alive during configuration changes anyway, regardless of whether you have a service or not. The only reason to use a service is if you need your process to live on when the activities are not on screen. > I don't like the static handler idea > because it can't have more advanced capabilities like the queue my > service has. Sorry, I don't understand this. You can pass any objects you like through a handler and handlers use the threads message queue anyway. So I don't see why you can't have a queue using a handler. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
