Hi Nicolay, thanks for the reply. true, there is a point in what you say about the processes.
so there are two separate APK's. I can see they are running in two different processes. still, the message seems to come from the service itself: although the message is called from the remote client process (pid 6969), when the service methods (onBind and handleMessage) are called, the Binder.getCallingPid() returns the pid of the service itself (6985). (I can only assume there is some configuration that needs to be set, or something that I am missing here) any idea? thanks!
