Android Question Services are processes or threads?

[Alessandro71]

if i start 2 different services from an app, will they spawn 2 different processes or are they just 2 threads?
in other words:
2 different service modules will run in parallel on a multicore cpu, or execution will serialized anyway?

Services are neither processes nor threads. The services code runs on the main thread.

 

[Alessandro71]

so, no parallel processing is possible between 2 services

It depends on what you are trying to do. For example if you are accessing a database then you easily use the async methods and they will be executed in parallel.
