I have an activity and android service, each running within its own process. I would like the service to be able to render video into a view/surface that the activity will expose. How do we do this? You don't. Along the same lines, when will app widgets be able to render videoview? 2018.

Look at http://d.android.com/reference/android/app/PendingIntent.html. It's the closest thing I can think of that can tie two applications together, but I've no idea if what you want to do is possible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android

Have you bound your Activity to your Service? You should be able to get the service to raise an event that tells the Activity to get the video info and play it. Are you talking about streaming from the Service to the Activity? On Jun 2, 5:43 am, Extreme Programming Labs xprol...@gmail.com wrote:

Right. But he has to get the video info from one process into another. This is the hard part. He will have to use an IBinder and either send Messages or write AIDL. See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html and look at Remote Messenger Service Sample. On Jun 3, 2:58 am,
