Android local bining pattern

BoundLocalActivity defines a static inner class ServiceListener with weak references to the Activity:

public class BoundLocalActivity extends Activity {
// Activity creation and Service binding omitted.
// See previous BoundLocalService listing.
private static class ServiceListener implements
BoundLocalService.OperationListener {
private WeakReference mWeakActivity;
public ServiceListener(BoundLocalActivity activity) {
this.mWeakActivity =
new WeakReference(activity);
}
@Override
public void onOperationDone(final int someResult) {
final BoundLocalActivity localReferenceActivity =
mWeakActivity.get();
if (localReferenceActivity != null) {
localReferenceActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
// Update on the UI thread
}
});
}
}
}
public void onClickExecuteOnClientUIThread(View v) {
if (mBoundLocalService != null) {
mBoundLocalService.doLongAsyncOperation(new ServiceListener(this));
}
}
}
