    \title Android Service with Qt Remote Objects
    \ingroup examples-qtandroidextras
    \example services/serviceremoteobjects
    \brief Demonstrates how to run an Android service in a separate process,
           and how to communicate between the service process and the main process
           using Qt Remote Objects.

    \image androidservices.png

    This example demonstrates how to create and run an Android service in
    a separate process from the main application process, and then exchange data
    between QML/C++ and the Java service using \l{Qt Remote Objects}.

    When clicking the \uicontrol {Send to Service} button, the name entered in the QML
    view, Qt, in this case, is sent to the Android service. Then, the service
    replies back with a message \c {Hello Qt} which is printed in the QML view.

    \include examples-run.qdocinc

    \section1 Create the Service

    To start a service in its own process, extend the \c QtService class for
    your service. Extending \c QtService allows the service to load the necessary
    Qt libraries used for Qt, like \l{Qt Remote Objects} libraries.

    Start by creating the Java service class. The following class extends \c QtService
    and acts as your service entry point:

    \quotefromfile services/serviceremoteobjects/android/src/org/qtproject/example/qtandroidservice/QtAndroidService.java
    \skipto package
    \printuntil /^\}/

    This class can have any logic you want using Java code. However, you don't need
    any logic to communicate with Qt as that will be done using Qt Remote Objects.

    \section1 Manage the AndroidManifest.xml File

    To use the service, it must be declared in the \c AndroidManifest.xml
    file as follows:

    \quotefromfile services/serviceremoteobjects/android/AndroidManifest.xml
    \skipto <service
    \printuntil </service>

    The important part of this service declaration is the \c lib_name part.
    It will ensure that the service is run by the service's own lib file:

    \quotefromfile services/serviceremoteobjects/android/AndroidManifest.xml
    \skipto android:value="service"
    \printuntil android:value="service"

    \section1 Handle the Application Start

    To start the service, call the following function from the application's
    \c main():

    \quotefromfile services/serviceremoteobjects/main.cpp
    \skipto startService
    \printuntil /^\}/

    \section1 Handle the Service Start

    \l{QAndroidService} is used to create the service process. For the service
    to start from its own \c .so lib file, create a sub-project with the following
    \c .pro file:

    \quotefromfile services/serviceremoteobjects/service.pro
    \printuntil CONFIG

    \section1 Communication with Qt Remote Objects

    To use \l{Qt Remote Objects}, define a \c .rep file:

    \quotefromfile services/common/qtandroidservice.rep
    \skipto class
    \printuntil /^\}/

    Define the \c .rep source file in the service project \c .pro:

    \quotefromfile services/serviceremoteobjects/service.pro
    \skipto REPC_SOURCE
    \printline REPC_SOURCE

    And in the application's \c .pro file:

    \quotefromfile services/serviceremoteobjects/serviceremoteobjectsclient.pro
    \skipto REPC_REPLICA
    \printline REPC_REPLICA

    Then define the class used by Qt Remote Objects, which has a
    \c sendToService() slot and a \c messageFromService() signal:

    \quotefromfile services/common/qtandroidservice_ro.h
    \skipto include
    \printuntil /^\};/

    Include the class in the previous snippet in \c main.cpp:

    \quotefromfile services/serviceremoteobjects/main.cpp
    \skipto _replica.h
    \printline _replica.h

    Now, in the service's \c service_main.cpp, create the \l{QRemoteObjectHost}
    node and start \l{QAndroidService}:

    \quotefromfile services/serviceremoteobjects/service_main.cpp
    \skipto include
    \printuntil /^\}/

    In the application's \c main.cpp, create the client node and connect it
    to the source node created in the service and connect it to the QML view:

    \quotefromfile services/serviceremoteobjects/main.cpp
    \skipto QRemoteObjectNode
    \printuntil sendToService

    Then, add a \l Connections element to watch for the incoming messages from
    the service:

    \quotefromfile services/common/main.qml
    \skipto Connections
    \printuntil /^\ {4}\}/

    And set the \c onClicked for the sending button to:

    \quotefromfile services/common/main.qml
    \skipto onClicked
    \printline onClicked
