"Service runs *in* a thread" is NOT the same as "Service *is* a thread", which was your original claim. Obviously everything that runs is doing so within some thread in its process, be it the main UI thread or a secondary dedicated one. So the idea that a Service is not a thread but does run within one is in no way a contradiction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
