Thanks for making it easy to understand.

I’m not sure whether I need to use a service or not. I have a small application and it fetches data using RSS and presents it on the UI. I definitely need to bring the network connections in a different thread. Can I just do it in an activity? Or service is the only way to create a thread and do background work?

You should update this post as your code will leak the service see here for details

Thank you for this post.

At the end of the reading I still have a question.

Let’s say I have a service that handles all the networking stuff. I want this service to be bind to several Activities. So I can do networking stuff from several activities. Is that possible? How would you do that ?

And, again, great post !

Everything you use an example of the AndroidManifest.xml (like in the begin and at the end) I don’t see :S

It is just empty, but the rest of the example code I do see…
I use Firefox 3.6.8 running on Linux Mint 9. Any idea?

@Yousef Somehow the site doesn't seem to render properly. If you have IE8 and set it to compatibility mode, it works though. Thanks for the info, great work.
