Can you explain why the Service
put into a separate process (by adding the line android:process
in the manifest)?
At first, I thought that in order to kill an application (brushing with a finger in the task manager), it would not die with activity. As practice has shown - he continues to live.
Then I thought that this was done so that when the service restarts itself, the activity does not open - and then again it’s not that! Restart activity does not open.
Then I thought that this was done in order not to slow down the activity! But here comes the IntentService
...
So what's the point?
