The documentation states that a Service started with startService() will continue running until stopService() or stopSelf() is called, however, I'm having trouble with this.
I've got a Timer and a TimerTask running in my background Service. It's running repeatedly. After closing my main Activity, the Timer keeps running for a few minutes, but then it seems to "pause" until I reopen the main activity and it rebinds to the service. The documentation also mentions returning the START_STICKY flag from the onStartCommand method, and though this seems like what I want, it's not available in Android 1.6. What do I need to do to keep the background task running indefinitely? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
