Java Question Example code for handling Activity events in a service

[corwin42]

On many posts Erel said that it should be possible to handle (custom) activity events in a service.

For the PreferenceActivity Library I would like to implement such a feature so that it will be possible to use the preference activity from a widget service.

Is there anywhere an example of how to implement this or any tips or suggestions?

There are several ways to implement such a solution. In the case of preference screen the simplest solution that I can think of is to use intents for the events.

Add an intent filter to the service as described here: Intent Filters - Intercepting SMS messages in the background
Define your own action name. In your activity you should use BA.applicationContext.sendBroadcast to send the intents from your activity.
