title: What is a JobService in Android
body: <p>I am inspecting the latest samples in Android-L developer SDK.  There is a sample class in <code>android-L/ui/views/Clipping/ClippingBasic</code> called <strong>TestJobService</strong>.  It extends from <a href="https://d.android.com/reference/android/app/job/JobService" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>JobService</strong></a>, which in turn extends from <strong>Service</strong>.  I see that <strong>JobService</strong> is a class in android.jar, but I cannot find any information on it in the dev guides, nor in the Android sourcecode <a href="http://www.androidxref.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.androidxref.com</a>.  Has anybody seen this class or know what it's purpose is?</p>
