XMPPConnection is from the Smack XMPP Library. Any chance you could provide me with a simple sample code of passing the XMPPConnection back to the Activity from the Service? The example you posted is different than mine, I'm using an Intent to run my service, my service is going to keep running in the background for a few minutes after the application is ended.
