Incoming calls on an IBinder interface are dispatched from a thread pool
maintained by the system in each process, so you basically can't make any
assumption about thread those methods will run on. (This is basically the
free threaded model in COM if you are familiar with that.)
To put work on
I'm sorry for not understanding, but it sounds like you're describing
how to get thread pool requests executed in the main thread, but
that's not the problem I'm describing (unless I've described it poorly
[if so, sorry...])
My problem is that as client Activities pass my service their callback
Well this certainly works in the sample code, so my question would be what
is different about your code. There are only a few possible things I can
imagine going on:
- You are looking at different RemoteCallbackList instances -- things are
getting added in one, and you are trying to do callbacks
The only thing different, as far as I can tell, between my approach,
and the sample's is that the client and service are in the same
project and share the same manifest, and in my service's manifest I
don't use something like:
action android:name=com.example.android.apis.app.REMOTE_SERVICE /
Wow, weirdness...
Starting the remote service, whose code is in another project than the
client's, via a global name resolved the thread issue.
So, to sum up:
IF you keep your service code in its own project
If you don't declare a name like this:
action
Please see me recent reply to another thread. It sounds like you are
running two instances of your service. You do NOT declare the service in
the client process, but you DO need to specify the correct component name in
the Intent when binding to it from the client -- that is explicitly make a
Unless there are some serious bugs in the Log class (which I doubt) it
wasn't running two instances of the service because I logged every
aspect of the service and the client's life cycles and included thread
IDs and process IDs when doing so.
I did this for all the variations I used to try and
