Class Overview

This is the base class for implementing a weather provider service. A weather provider service can handle weather update requests and update the weather content provider data by processing a ServiceRequest A weather provider service is declared as any other service in an AndroidManifest.xml but it must also specify that in handles the Intent with action cyanogenmod.weatherservice.WeatherProviderService. Failure to declare this intent will cause the system to ignore the weather provider service. Additionally, a weather provider service must request the BIND_WEATHER_PROVIDER_SERVICE permission to ensure that only the system can bind to it. Failure to request this permission will cause the system to ignore this weather provider service. Following is an example declaration: 

    <service android:name=".MyWeatherProviderService"
          android:permission="cyanogenmod.permission.BIND_WEATHER_PROVIDER_SERVICE">
      <intent-filter>
          <action android:name="cyanogenmod.weatherservice.WeatherProviderService" />
      <intent-filter>
      . . .
    </service>
