title: Android Download Service
body: <p>Does anyone have a good example of using a service to download a file?</p>
  
  <p>I am not sure whether to use remote or local and even if I was sure, I need a basic example to start with.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I want to start the service with the url of the file to downland and when the download is done end the service.</p>
  
  <p>Google's example of services is filled with junk so I am not sure what is needed and what is not.</p>
  
  <p>Your help is greatly appreciated.</p>
