Sergio, A Handler only works for as long as your process is "alive", which may not be a good thing.
Use AlarmManager for scheduling - it can wake the phone up (if you need this) and will reload the process if it was kicked out of memory. For the actual updates, take a look at IntentService (part of SDK) or WakefulIntentService (Mark Murphy's enhanced version, Google for it). -- Kostya 2011/1/17 Sergio Luceno <slucen...@gmail.com> > Hi! > > My application has to be syncronized every 5 minutes against a server. > I have to schedule a HTTP call to my server to get sync. > > What is the best way to achieve that? > > Now I tried to make a timer with a handler. > I'm passing a message every 5 minutes to execute my action. > > Thanks in advance. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<android-developers%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
