hey guys! i am having such trouble getting my head around services for android and I do not know why :/ its just not going in..
thats it really lol I have looked at them and I understand how they are set up in code structure ... but I dont know how to integrate a service?
lets say for example I had a chat client on my phone, I want that chat client to receive messages even when the screen isnt open, how would I go about that? (I have already programmed a chat client)..
I dont understand how my program and the service I am writing for it integrate together I am willing to practice with smaller bits of code to get used to it but all the examples I find rather then giving good clear English examples give 2 million pages of code and only explain the service, how am i meant to know how the service works if I dont know about the rest of their code lol?
currently reading SAMS teach your self java in 24 hours, while looking at official documentation and tutorials, just need someone use plain english please
