The Android documentation says this: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/services.html
"The Android system will force-stop a service only when memory is low and it must recover system resources for the activity that has user focus. If the service is bound to an activity that has user focus, then it's less likely to be killed, and if the service is declared to run in the foreground (discussed later), then it will almost never be killed" Is this talking about a Service that is in the same process as the aforementioned Activity (local Service), or a different process (remote Service)? I assume this refers to a Service in the same process, which then means that a Service can be 'killed' (maybe better term is 'stopped') by Android without its process (and thus associated Activity) also being killed. Is this correct? Or is the documentation referring to a Service in another process? It makes more logical sense to me that Android would only 'kill' a Service by killing the process the Service is in, but this documentation makes me wonder if that is incorrect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
