    <p>I am having a problem with my Android service and client apps who rebind to it. Everything works fine when a client app initially binds to my service, after which messages can be sent from service to client. However, if the client app is killed and then binds agains, onRebind() is correctly called in the service, but my messenger in the intent is invalid, causing a DeadObjectException, as noted in the code below. Any ideas?</p> <p>Here is my code for the service:</p> <pre><code>@Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { getMessenger(intent); return _inputMessenger.getBinder(); } @Override public void onRebind(Intent intent) { getMessenger(intent); } @Override public boolean onUnbind(Intent intent) { return true; } private void getMessenger(Intent intent) { Bundle extras = intent.getExtras(); if (extras != null) { // Get the messenger sent from the app. // This is handled correctly after onBind() and onRebind(). _outputMessenger = (Messenger) extras.get("MESSENGER"); Log.i(TAG, "Got messenger from app: " + _outputMessenger); } } private void sendMessageToClient(String key, String value) { Message message = Message.obtain(); Bundle bundle = new Bundle(); bundle.putString(key, value); message.setData(bundle); try { _outputMessenger.send(message); // EXCEPTION OCCURS HERE AFTER onRebind() } catch (Exception ex) { Log.e(TAG, "_outputMessenger.send() failed: " + ex); } } </code></pre> <p>And here is the code for the application:</p> <pre><code> Intent intent = new Intent("com.foobar.service"); // Create a new messenger for the communication from service to app. _messenger = new Messenger(new ServiceToActivityHandler()); intent.putExtra("MESSENGER", _messenger); _serviceConnection = new MyServiceConnection(); _isBoundToService = _context.bindService(intent, _serviceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
