Thanks Diane. We just fixed it. Seems like the moment you post to the
list in desperation, the answer appears. Wonderful magick.
Turns out our initialization is so crazy complicated we were
wait()-ing the UI thread (instead of the worker thread we thought we
were on) waiting for the service connection to fire. Well, not too
surprisingly, hanging the UI thread keeps stuff from happening
Not sure what the best idiom is for insuring a service is up before
you proceed, but that's another (straightforward) problem.

Are you passing the flag to have the service created? What is the
output of adb shell dumpsys activity.service during this time?
(And what is the name of your service to be able to find it?)

Man, we are pulling our out over this
We have a service. bindService() returns true. But our
ServiceConnection is never called with onConnect(). The onCreate() of
the service is never executed (neither is the onBind(), of course).
Except sometimes! (twice now, out of many many tries).
Remote service, local service, intent-filter, direct class
invocation, procedure attribute, no procedure attribute, cupcake,
1.1, emulator, device ... we've tried 'em all!
We belive the service is found, and in the remote case, we see the
new process always created ... but the dang service just isn't
started. We aren't specifying any security settings and writing the
simplest manifest entry we can
Does this sound familiar to anyone? What can we check?
Thanks, as always.
