the fact is that i tried running the worker thread in my application but for some reason the thread canot stop.no matter what!!! so it thought of having the worker thread running in a separate app. what i want is just a way of starting another app whithout quiting my current runnning app. is there such a thing? and how can i start a service that runs by de finition in the background?
