I'm confused about that. So please let me explain a bit more about
what i want to do.
Try to implement a service what is getting gps information and record
that to a database.
An activity get information from that record service to display it.
But the user can deceide
if he close the activity or not. To say it simply the UI should attach
and detach from the service.
The question what is raising is that possible with a service
implementation and "bindService"?
I haven't find answers to this question in your books yet. ;-) The
books are great stuff, maybe my
bad english comprehension is the problem here.

Thanks Daniel

Why is the service staying around? What will cause the service to ever
shut down?

No.

I have two chapters on service theory and patterns in _The Busy
Coder's Guide to Android Development_.
