Your service presumably implements some combination of onCreate(), onStart(), onBind(), and onDestroy(). It might also implement some other callbacks, objects on which Android will invoke certain methods at certain times. All of those will be called on the main application thread -- in an activity, we'd call this the "UI thread". You should not be doing anything that takes much time on the UI thread. If you take too much time, Android will assume your service is stuck and will kill it off with the service equivalent of an Application Not Responding (ANR) error. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Consulting/App Development: http://commonsware.com/consulting -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
