Always assume your service will be killed at any point - because it can and probably will, eventually. That being said, if you set an alarm to re-trigger the Service on each start, it should keep going, theoretically. I don't suppose you're turning your phone off? Because all alarms are lost if you do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
