You emailed me personally, only four hours after posting to this list, with the same text as from your post (plus one additional question, which I answered in a private reply to the private email, plus another answer below). I try to be very generous with my time, but I am not a one-man technical support hotline, either. I do not put a blanket clause in my email sigs, like some of the core Android team has had to do, saying not to email them personally. On the other hand, I reserve the right to get testy if you do not give the public assistance process enough time before contacting me directly. That being said, I apologize for my tone. > I was asked to look for alternatives like Looper, handler to manipulate the > message queue associated with the Activity so the bindService gets > processed and the service connection gets > established with in onCreate().
