[android-developers] Re: startActivity Problem
Thanks Yusuf,
that worked.
Still curious though, when did the startActivity behavior change? It
worked in an older project that was also 1.5.

There was never a point at any stage in the development of the platform
where startActivity() would start a Service. :)
