Fig 2-1. Android System Structure 2.1. Android Framework Java Service Based on developed programming language, Android services can be divided into native (C base) and java service. Android services are a kind of server-client structure where the server side can receive a request from the client and output the result to client. Also, the server- client structure can deal with synchronization issues from multi-client requests.
