Well, it will stop executing. > I am confused..how can one have a process run in the background if the > CPU is off most of the time? You don't, as much as possible. Keeping the CPU running while it's not being used will have a big impact on battery life. You should use the alarm manager to have the system wake you up when needed. You can hold a partial wake lock while needed to ensure that the cpu remains running during that time, but just holding one indefinitely is evil. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
