I disagree.. We typically use services devoid of UI for implementing utility like routines. They don't run forever, and aren't intended to, but for farming out some shared code to a service that runs in the background (or, in our case, getting security through more sandboxing across processes), it works fine. There is also an activity that can be started by the user, to check up on things happening in the service, but it's not a requirement... kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
