For the purposes of this answer, App A is the one with the service, and App B is the one that is using the service from App A. Have App A supply an <intent-filter> for the service (e.g., one with a custom <action>). Have App B use an Intent matching that filter when it calls startService() or bindService(). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
