Running services

[abaker]

You will be glad to hear that I've added another service in the latest version for handling in-app donations. The service-free v3 billing API requires the minSdk to be set to android 2.3 or above so I had to use v2.

I can look into making the widget service start up only once a widget has been added. Or I can add an option to disable widgets entirely.

I'll also have the billing service shut down if the user has already donated.

It sounds like it involves the proprietary Play services library (which is incompatible with GPLv3). Please consider making a flavour that doesn't need that.

Billing service v2 only relies on an AIDL that is under an apache v2 license. All of the Google Play interaction is over IPC and won't cause any problems if the google play app is not present. I will also have the billing service shut itself down if billing is not supported.

Nice one. I've a Flattr account and I've starred your repo, so you can collect a flattr if you have an account and hook it up. I'm probably the only one though:-(
