What if they are in the middle of writing a text message, or are using some other application? Why do you think you have the right to intrude upon their use of their device this way? If you are taking some steps to ensure that the only time you start an activity from your service is if one of your other activities is in the foreground...then that is your call. I think ensuring that behavior will be difficult to get right 100% of the time. Otherwise, I have not yet seen a valid use case of a service launching an activity. If anyone has such a use case, chime in, and let us know how you are not irritating your users! -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, $35/Year --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
