Android Question Does OkHttpUtils create a service?

[KMatle]

Maybe stupid but: I never cared about the message in the logs when you use OkHttpUtils but does it really create a service by code?

Yes, not by code. It starts the HttpUtils2Service. This is required, especially in the pre-B4XPages era, in order to not be affected by the activity life cycle.

Is it an Android system service which is integrated in the OS or where does it come from?

No. It is a regular service inside OkHttpUtils2 library (unzip the b4xlib and you will see it).
