Unless there are some serious bugs in the Log class (which I doubt) it
wasn't running two instances of the service because I logged every
aspect of the service and the client's life cycles and included thread
IDs and process IDs when doing so.
I did this for all the variations I used to try and solve the problem.
There was only ever one instance of the server. This instance was
running in its own process. The client was running in its own
process. The client could start/stop the service just fine. The
clients could bind the service just fine (for multiple interfaces as
well.) The clients could register and unregister their callbacks just
fine. The service could call the clients on their callback interfaces
just fine IF the service's threadpool was making the calls. The
service could NOT call the clients on their callback interfaces IF the
service's main thread or message handler was making the calls. All of
this was logged for analysis.
As I posted in both threads, removing the <service/> entry in the
clients' manifests and simply adding a name action (in this case
"TEST_SERVICE") and changing the clients' methods for starting/
stopping the service to use an Intent created via the "TEST_SERVICE"
allowed all the same abilities except you COULD call the clients' on
their callback interfaces from the service's main thread and/or
message handler.
It is probably very easy to reproduce. Take the "REMOTE_SERVICE" name
out of the Remote Service section of the manifest for the API samples
and add a <service/> entry for RemoteService in the sections of the
manifest for the remote binding/controlling activities.
