Hi Mark, Hi TreKing, I have one Activity that demonstrates two functionalities: a] table of stocks (portfolio). b] ticker for recommended stocks. These are the two functionalities I am referring as modules, which obtain their data from a Service. The Service fetches data from server as per the requests made by the modules, and return the result to the respective module (referred as "action method"). I will have many more such activities (UI pages) that would use the Service to obtain the data. That is why I chose not to fetch the data in background process of Activity.
This is what I have tried : I am not using Intents and Broadcast receivers. I have created two AsyncTasks, one per each module, to invoke "action method" from the Service. I just need make sure that the "action method" is re-entrant and thread safe. Hopefully this is correct way of doing things in Android.
