Have the service own the XMPP connection, with the activity obtaining the connection when needed by calling a method on the service object. The activity can get at the service object via the local binding pattern or by making the service instance a singleton. The local binding pattern is cleaner. You can see an example of that here: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-android/tree/master/Service/WeatherPlus/ > Currently I have it setup so I am making 2 XMPP connections.

You may wish to use adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse to examine the Java stack trace, to validate your assumption. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in Germany, 18-22 January 2010: http://bignerdranch.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
