[android-beginners] MyLocationOverlay vs. Service with Locationlistener
Hi, im playing around a little with the Maps-Api and the MyLocationOverlay which draws a point on the map on your current location. At first i was doing this by hand with a normal Overlay and a Service with a LocationListener. Then i found out that MyLocationOverlay is implementing this all natively. Now what if i still wanted to use a LocationListener in a Service. For example i want to have a general-purpose Service for Location- Listening that could also be used for the map, but i also want to use the MyLocationOverlay-Class for showing my position. Does it make sense or would the Listeners interfere each other? Is it possible that MyLocationOverlay should use the LocationService and not the build-in one?

[android-beginners] backgroundservice
Hi, i want to develop an application which checks periodically for new data on a server over a http-connection. Should i do this in a Thread or is it better to do this in a service? The checking should also continue when the user is going back to the Android-Main-Menu, that means the user is exiting the Activity, and when he starts the Activity again it can work with the collected data. As far as i read, is this feature only possible with remote-Services, so that i must use Inter-Process-Communication?
