[android-developers] provider, thread and async

Hi, you may look into the code of the AndStatus application ( https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/wiki ). It does background work in the service (MyService). In particular it downloads data into a database.
Activities send messages to the MyService and get responses back using broadcasts, see MyServiceConnector.

BTW, global variables will not work in this scenario, because there are TWO copies of the code instanciated in two processes. See MyPreferences class.

The code has a lot of debug logging ...
