For example, the Music app that is part of the open source project uses this service declaration in its manifest: <service android:name="MediaPlaybackService" android:exported="true" /> (the android:exported="true" means other applications can bind to it, despite the fact that it has no <intent-filter>) Now, MediaPlaybackService seems unusually long and icky (~1800 lines for the copy indexed by Google Code Search), but it may be doing more things that your particular implementation needs to. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in US: 14-18 June 2010: http://bignerdranch.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
