startService() starts the service if it is not running. bindService() with FLAG_AUTO_CREATE will start the service if it is not running. Whether these are called from App A, App B, App C, App D, etc. makes no difference. App A will always be the one "running" the service, insofar as it will run in App A's process. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in London: http://bit.ly/smand1, http://bit.ly/smand2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
