Using Ace Stream as service on Android

To start engine on Android you should bind to Ace Stream Service and send a “start” command to this service.

The preferred way to start engine is to use Ace Stream Client helper module: [https://github.com/acestream/android-service-client](https://github.com/acestream/android-service-client)

The example application which shows usage of this module is here: [https://github.com/acestream/android-service-client-example](https://github.com/acestream/android-service-client-example)

After starting service you should work with Ace Stream engine using [Engine API](http://wiki.acestream.media/Engine_API) or [Engine HTTP API](http://wiki.acestream.media/Engine_HTTP_API)
