Android :: Keeping An Application Running In The Background
Jun 26, 2009
We have an application that connects to a device and therefore needs to keep running in the background even when there are no Activities active. What is the recommended way to indicate that our application is still active and for it not to be killed automatically?

Are services like Tasker now safe from being killing if running in the background?
I would prefer running such services in background instead of foreground to save space on the notification bar.
So I was wondering how risky is running services in the background with JB?

This is sort of about task managers, and yet, not. I have an application I need to stay open (meebo) but Androids's task manager closes it sometimes. I have tried using task managers to keep enough memory free that Android won't kill Meebo, but it usually gets killed eventually anyway. Does anyone have an idea on how to keep it open? I am running 2.2.

Is there any way in android to know if your application is running in background? By background, I mean none of the applications activities are currently visible to the user?

I am designing an app that will have some activities separated in tabs. Some of them will have to perform tasks in the background will the user is in another tab. What is the best strategy for designing an app like this? I was thinking about using a service but it can be killed by android dalvik, isnt it?

I'm using application called SetCPU on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus I9001
When I start it and press the home button to leave it running in background, it shows in Task Manager as active application, but sometimes it will shut itself down after few hours.
Is there a way to set applications to run always in background?

How does one create a graphics canvas that is visible by the user through orientation (port->land->port) changes? If one defines layout land and port, there is a noticeable pause during the switch. Yet, I downloaded a bubble level application that never pauses as orientation changes - even when it switches from a circular level (gravity vector through back of device) to a flat level (gravity vector through side or bottom edge).

My phone is Jiayu G3S, with a MTK6589 cpu and android version 4.2.1 I use latest xposed installer and latest gravitybox.
My problem is that something is keeping my cpu busy in the background, preventing it from sleeping.
For example, i left it last night, and i opened it after 12 hours, it was awake and using cpu for about 90 minutes.
My normal consumption is 0.3% every hour, but now it is 3%, like 10 times more. Also noticed greater consumption when screen is on. As you can see, there is no strange wakellock that lasts that long and all my apps have settings not to auto-update. I tried reading my logs but i didnt find any info.

Anyone know of a simple organizer app to keep track of books that you've read? I used to have a group in my contacts called strangely "books" on my BB storm. In the notes section I could keep an unlimited amount of information. Now on my Fascinate the notes section is limited and unusable for my needs.

I have a project that builds against Android v2.1 . I can run it fine on a phone running 1.5 but when I try to launch it with an emulator running 1.5, the emulator doesn't show up on the list of available AVDs. I have the <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3"/> tag in my manifest but it doesn't make a difference.

I have an EVO and I have a problem with it. I downloaded the app Advanced Task Killer to take care of apps running in the background. However sometimes when I pull it up I find that things like Sprint Navigation, Qik, Voice Dialer, and sometimes others are running without me pulling them up. My question is, how do I keep these apps from doing this, because they kill my battery when they come on and I don't know it?

I am new to Android, previous Crack Berry addict here. On the BB I could load Google Maps (including Latitude) to keep my position updated on Google Latitude online (I use it when I go riding on my motorcycle to give my wife a way to check if I'm still moving (= not dead)). Even if I shut down Maps, I could elect to have Latitude run in the background, so it would still update my position. How do I do this in Android? When I 'exit' Maps, it shuts it down, including Latitude, as far as I can tell. Can Android run Latitude in the background, or do I need to keep Maps open all the time?

Every so often I check my memory with Advanced Task Manager and I see certain applications running in the background and my available memory has dropped quite a bit. Now I am using the HTC Incredible so I still have about 127 MB free, however what concerns me the most is why the programs are even launching themselves in the first place. I could see some application having to start themselves, like a twitter client or an email client, however one of the programs that seems to be launching itself is the eBay app. I installed the app in case I wanted to view an ebay listing however I never use the program and it still seems to launch itself. Is this an example of a poor application design (i.e. ebay app) or is there some other reason these programs are launching themselves?

I'd like to include a feature in my application that would include a running background service that would disable SMS, if certain conditions were met (location for instance). Is there a way I can intercept the user wanting to open any SMS app and block it? Would a Broadcast Receiver be able to do the trick? Maybe a different way to go about this?
