Body
I have a service component (common task for all my apps), which can be invoked by any of the apps. I am trying to access the service object from the all activities, I noticed that the one which created the service [startService(intent)] has the right informaion. But rest does not get the informaion needed. My Code is as below: <pre><code>// Activity.java public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { ... Intent intent = new Intent (this.context, Service.class) ; this.context.startService(intent) ; this.context.bindService(intent, this, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE) ; ... String result = serviceObj.getData() ; } public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) { serviceObj = ((Service.LocalBinder)service).getService(); timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, 5000, 60000 ) ; } // Service.java private final IBinder mBinder = new LocalBinder(); public class LocalBinder extends Binder { Service getService() { return Service.this; } } public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); context = getApplicationContext() ; } public void onStart( Intent intent, int startId ) { ... some processing is done here... } public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { return mBinder; } </code></pre> If I invoke startService(intent). it creates a new service and runs in parallel to the other service. If I don't invoke startService(intent), serviceObj.getData() retuns null value. Can any one enlighten me where have I gone wrong. Any kind of pointer will be very useful.. Thanks and regards, Vinay

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.
