I know that Service can have a reference to Activity. Does the opposite hold ?
I have a service that monitor my Audio play/pause/stop . In my activity, I have 3 buttons for these functions and a seek bar also.
I want to call the appropriate function at the Service when the corresponding button is pressed at the Activty. Also I want the seekBar to set its max to the Audio length at the service. So, I figured that I need a reference to my service in order to do that.
Am I right or what?
Services should not hold references to activities, as this may result in memory leaks. An Activity can have a reference to a Service, this is called “Local Bound Services”. A detailed explanation of what this is and how to implement and use it described in “Bound Services” article in Android’s documentation.
