After starting a Service (with startService method) the Activity and the Service are running in the same thread according to Thread.currentThread(). I suppose if I start another Activity it will also be running in that same thread.
So that makes me wonder if there are reasons why the Activity cannot just call methods on the Service directly and vice versa, once you get references to the two objects. What is the role of IBinder that is better than plain object references? One reason I am asking is that I have application singleton objects that I plan to share between the Service and the Activity and I'm trying to be clear on the design options. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
