So you're using a Service already and then using an AsyncTask within that to do things off the main thread, but running into the problem of the Task staying in a running state. IntentService is a Service that does the work in a separate thread and stops itself when there's no more work to do. So it would seem much cleaner and simpler given your current situation, as I understand it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
