I have a service working with selectable backends internally, and the user is able to select which on to bind to. I was hoping to optimize a bit by have that selection made by the bindService call, and just keep a single Binder per backend implementation. Guess I'll just create a new Binder per bindService, and point it to the backend to use.
Anyway, thanks for the information - following the the documentation it is :) Regards, Gert Scholten On Jul 1, 6:24 pm, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah that is a little wrong... the extras are very complicated, because the > bind is cached in various places.
