You can do this by making your own Interface where you declare for example " isServiceRunning() ". You can then bind your Activity to your Service, run the method isServiceRunning(), the Service will check for itself if it is running or not and returns a boolean to your Activity.
In reality, a server is any computer designed to handle requests for information or files. Almost any computer can be converted to run as a server, and this includes Android devices. Even an old iPhone or iPad can be jailbroken and made into a server, but we'll save that for another guide.
Most mobile apps have two parts: client and server. The client side is the app that runs on your device, while the server-side code runs on a remote server. Although the focus of this class is on the client side, we do want students to be able to write some simple server-side code.
He probably needs Java code since he's working on Android. The Java equivalent -- which I believe works on Android -- should be:
