It was your code... :-) My service class was extending Service, not IntentService, so that answers my own question! Looks like the basic difference is that IntentService will automatically spin off a worker thread do the work as opposed to doing in the Service itself? But if the Service is already in a running context unto itself, what is the benefit of splitting its own into yet another thread? Also, the docs state that you do NOT need to call stopSelf() in an IntentService yet you prior post indicated that I should. Is that because you were thinking Service? -- Jake Colman -- Android Tinkerer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
