I am not expert in android and I am looking for an example for an Android application which use a service in which there are real functional methods or in other words what a service could be useful for, when do we need it.Something beyond a simple services example..

I'm sure you're eager to get some working code, but if you're new to android a working example of a service will probably raise more questions...

I suggest familiarizing yourself with the types of background processes and determine which you need:


Here is an example of a Service:


Here is an example of an AsyncTask


Decide which type of background process you need, try to get it working and if it doesn't work post the code along with your requirements.

  • Thanks for reply, I do mean service and more specific remote service which communicate throw IPC with AIDL and IBinder, in fact .I don't really need the code itself but i need the idea of it because i am looking to do measurements on the IPC, but i need to have an application has this kind of services i mean a practical usage of the remote services known for developers – Mo Al Sh Aug 30 '12 at 08:11
  • Oh I see. I've never done that before but I found these with a quick search: - [Detailed AIDL tutorial](http://app-solut.com/blog/2011/04/using-the-android-interface-definition-language-aidl-to-make-a-remote-procedure-call-rpc-in-android), [AIDL IPC RPC example (just code)](http://code.google.com/p/android-aidl-ipc-rpc-example), [Implementing Remote Interface Using AIDL](http://marakana.com/forums/android/examples/48.html). You may want to create another topic or change this topic title so devs with this knowledge can find it. Hope this helps a little =) – agentcurry Aug 30 '12 at 15:00
