If i'm understanding correctly, your service needs a user-response (a user supplied value) to continue. Make this asynchronous by handling the request twice:
- Make the request to the service from your UI (using intents) - The service goes out on the web to do the actual request. - The service gets a negative reply from the web-service; it needs some extra info. - The service will send a broadcast out requesting for this info (from broadcast-receiver that knows the answer). If necessary, add some extra Info in the broadcast intent to help the receiver. - Your UI will have registered as a receiver for this broadcast and your UI will now receive this broadcast: It will prompt the user for extra info. - After the user has provided the extra info, your UI will re-do the initial request including the extra info that was requested by the service. - The service gets the request, with the extra info, goes out to the web to get the actual results. - If the web-service is still not happy, rinse and repeat or bail out. If this request is a login issue (authentication issue), i suggest using authentication services instead. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
