Thanks for the info. Now that I understand the context,... > Thus, there is a choice here: > > 1. Generate an error if a type listed in AndroidManifest.xml doesn't have > a default constructor.

I think your preference (1) works nicely. That way, we know about it at compile time rather having to wait for a runtime error. I tested this in Eclipse. It lets you compile it but from the logs, the runtime error isn't all that clear. > As for Android.App.IntentService, the appropriate fix is to either: > > 1. Remove the [Service] attribute from your MyIntentService type; or This error is generated whether the [Service] attribute is present or not. > 2.

Silly me.
