ServiceConnection.onServiceConnected() never called after binding to started service

Question

In a game application I have the following scenario:

• From the main game Activity, the player starts several game tasks that run in the background

Answer 1

You have to return your Binder inner class from

private final IBinder mBinder = new ServiceBinder();

 public class ServiceBinder extends Binder {
   public PlayerActivity getService() {
   return PlayerActivity.this;
     }
  }

@Nullable
@Override
           public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
             return mBinder;
           }
