Class ChatServiceBinder


  • public final class ChatServiceBinder
extends Fragment
    Takes care of the chat service bind/unbind from the host activity that started the chat. Provides a default behaviour to attach with Activity#onStart() and detach with Activity#onStop().

    Orientation change will unbind a service from destroyed activity and then it will bind again to the recreated activity. Minimizing the chat will unbind the activity and it will be re-bound when resumed.

    All chat communications should be done between Activity#onResume() and Activity#onPause() as the service might not be connected outside of that state and the instance of chat won't be able to communicate.
