Question

I want bind socket service to the communication activity. But if the activity closed, the service destoryed.

How can I keep the socket service running whatever the activity is open or closed?

If I started notification to my application when the activity stopped, the service is running or not?

use the startService method with my app?I need exchange data from service to the activity.I think that Broadcast Receiver could do that. Whether my app was killed by system when memory is low? – Whistler Jul 31 '12 at 07:35
