I have to process some events given by a broadcast receiver. As kindly suggested by Mark M. a week ago, I am trying to send the intent to an intentservice in order to pass the data to be processed to another thread.
Looking at the doc, I can read abot onHandleIntent: "Only one Intent is processed at a time, but the processing happens on a worker thread that runs independently from other application logic. So, if this code takes a long time, it will hold up other requests to the same IntentService, but it will not hold up anything else. What does it mean? Will the intents be queued and then processed one by one, or does it mean that the startService will block if the intentService is busy processing a previous intent? And more (this is just my curiosity): What is the point in having a onStartCommand method in IntentService if the Intents must be processed in "onHandleIntent"? Why the IntentService has all the onBind facilities if it will die when it finish its job?
