I have tried both startService() and bindService(). Both methods return before Service.onCreate() is called. So work I was expecting to complete in Service.onCreate() is not done.
Is it necessary to do initialization steps in the Service constructor? If so what use is the Service.onCreate method? Any suggestions about how others handle this problem? I found this thread which describes the problem, but the poster's solution is not described. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/5e62acec947168e3/f8a8a8e577a57e39?lnk=gst&q=service+onCreate#f8a8a8e577a57e39 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
