Regarding the networking on Android, last year on Google IO there was
a session about developing REST clients on Android (http://
www.google.com/events/io/2010/sessions/developing-RESTful-android-apps.html).
In the first pattern described there is a Service Helper component
that acts as a thin layer above the service that actually do the
networking. This Service Helper is a singleton. Is this the safe way
to implement this component? In this example, what is the guarantee
that the singleton will live long enough to receive a binder callback
from the service?
