What is the difference between service and intentservice?..

Answer / Ratindra Kumar

Services are general-purpose background components that need manual lifecycle management, while Intent Services are a specialized kind of service that handles multiple requests concurrently by processing each Intent separately in their own worker thread. Intent Services are easier to work with since they handle start and stop automatically.
