If you use a service, you'll typically find that you'd still need to invoke a thread within that service for HTTP requests otherwise the Service might get killed for hogging the main thread. Under Eclair I'd found that services that hog the main thread (i.e. GUI-handling thread) would yeild a prompt to either 'force close' or 'wait', while under Froyo the service just gets forcibly closed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
