为什么要使用Android本地服务执行后台联网任务？

Question

I am writing an Android application which establishes a "semi-permanent" TCP socket connection, ie the connection should always be established when the application is visible but can be closed when it is not visible.

Currently, the connection is handled in a thread. The connection is only needed in one activity.

I am wondering what would be the advantages of putting the networking thread into an Android local service.

如果在不可见应用程序时不需要在后台从连接中获取数据，那么插入服务中没有任何好处。
