We are providing an Android Service to multiple customers for packaging into their .apks and need to ensure that only a single instance of our Service is running at a time. The ideal situation would be this:
When one of our customers's apps is installed on a device, it looks for instances of our Service. If our service is not present, our customer's app would install our Service. If our Service was present, the customer's app would use the existing Service. If the currently installed Service was an older version, our customer's app would upgrade the current Service with the newer one. We are pursuing a Shared Library solution, but this introduces many extra issues: access to resources, declaration of our Services in the customer manifest, .... Instead, we prefer to provide our customers with an .apk that would be optionally installed. Has anyone tried to do anything similar? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
