Android-活动和服务之间在另一个线程中进行通信

Question

I am writing a Tracking App in Android.

I have got a Service implements LocationListener, which does all the stuff with location and writing to database, and Activity.

I would like to run Service in new thread to optimize my app. I want also to send both sides messsages from Service to Activity, which will show info about location.

I bind service, like it is mentioned in Bind to Service section and implement using a Messenger. Next I tried to do:

 Thread t = new Thread(){
        public void run(){
            bindService(new Intent(this, GPSLogger.class), mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
        }
    };
    t.start();

App is working, but all the GPSLogger stuff is doing in main thread.

Is it any way to repair this?

Regular services run in main thread.

You can use IntentService instead. It is a job queue with a single bg thread.

If you insist on using the base Service class then you'll have to spawn your own threads.
