Android Question Remember the activity that called a service

[SteveTerrell]

I have a service that does work for different activities (in the same application) at different times, something like a client-server arrangement.

The service is asked to perform a time dependent operation action by a CallSubDelayed from an Activity and "replies" to it some time later with its own CallSubDelayed.

I can pass the calling Activity as a parameter to the service but it cannot be stored in the Service Process_Globals.

Is there some way that the Service can "remember" which activity requested the operation so that the reply CallSubDelayed goes to the correct activity?

You can store it as a process global variable. You should use:

CallSubDelayed2("...", Me)

'in service
Sub SomeSub(CallBackModule As Object)

You can then use this object to make the call back event.

Thanks,

It was saving the sender activity as an Object that I had missed.
