Thanks for replying.. Exactly what I wanted.. Solves one scenario in my application..
Here is the other, I intend to use a Alarm in my application, which periodically connects to a web service to update my database. Here no activity is involved. I intend to make it a background service. But this class needs to access the database. How do I do that? Also, periodically connecting to a web service to update a database is a bad practice? Btw, your book is great :).. thanks..
