Re: [android-developers] services and manifest.

It's to disable the component so it can't run.  If you don't want that, don't set it to false. :)  There is an API to control this state at runtime.

<service android:name="TestService" android:enabled="false"/>

according to the documentation on android:enabled here --

   Whether or not the service can be instantiated by the system —
"true" if it can be, and
   "false" if not. The default value is "true".

Set to false, means the system cannot start the service.  But if I
have this set to false, it looks like not even my app can start the
service.  If not even I can start the service, I'm not sure what the
purpose is here...  Ideas?
