Why a Service? Services are meant for either 1) long-running
operations in the background, operations that do not need UI or 2)
exposing this component's functionality to other components, using
IBinder if the latter are in other applications.
Because he's trying to determine when the user "really" leaves his
activity vs. when it's temporarily occluded. This is most likely to
either continue or stop doing something. I'm speculating, but it seems
likely.
An oath he should take seriously.
He asked for a response that could be "vouched for" - and since I can't
sign in blood using email, that was the best I could do :)
Let's hope he hasn't heard the
famous Turgenev quote, "каждый Русский -- неисправаемый лгун";)
Turgenev was Russian, too, so that's just like "All Cretans are liars" :)
