All, My apologies ... I initially thought the cause of the crash was the communication between the MainActivity and the BoundServer.
As it turns out, the reason of the crash is *AppCompatActivity*. When I changed it to *Activity*, the app ran without a problem. I am now working on getting the example to work with AppCompatActivity ... If anybody has any suggestion, that would be greatly appreciated :-) On Monday, March 30, 2020 at 10:54:47 AM UTC-4, Vincenzo Pappano wrote: > > > I am experimenting with this example. > > https://www.truiton.com/2014/11/bound-service-example-android/ > > It only has two java classes > > 1.
