Question

I’m developing an application on android 3.1 and I have an Activity A that has a subclass extending from aSyncTask, this subclass create a socket and connect to a server. All my communication is good. I received messages and send commands to a server, but when I got a specific command I have to start a second activity (activity B) but I can’t lost my socket and the establish communication with the server, plus I have to still able to receive and send commands from activity B to server. How can I do that??
Any help please!

My approach is implementing a service and move/centralise all your network connection code into service, for all activities that want to use socket connection, bind your network service in onCreate() then after finish unbind it in onDestory()
