How do you use two different user IDs for the same Android application?

Question

There has been lot of discussion how to use the same user ID for two applications.

I have a little bit strange situation where I want to provide two user IDs for one application. For example, from the same application, activity 1 and 2 will use a different user ID, or a service will run on a different user ID then rest of the application.

Any thoughts?

This is generally not possible unless you want to split your application into two packages ( .apk files).

See the documentation here .
