I've created a simple app. to help me better understand a few key components in the real app I'm making. A snippet of what I've done:
- an Activity is launched (lets call it the Home Activity) -> from here I schedule an alarm -> the alarm sets off a Pending Intent that starts a Service. - the above steps appear to do what I want them to do. My questions: - is a scheduled alarm persistent with respect to its creating process (I believe so) ? If the Home Activity is destroyed, the alarm still goes off, correct? - the PendingIntent that the alarm calls as well as the Intent nestled within both have a Context of the Home Activity. Is this a problem? Does the system launch the Home Activity again (if it has been destroyed since scheduling the alarm) just to launch the Service? - the Service does its task (some networking which will take a couple seconds) and then possibly creates a notification before killing itself (the alarm is repeating so it will get called again later). Does the Service need to make a new Thread to do its work in? The user is not interacting with the Home Activity at this point so I don't think a new Thread is needed. I think that sums up my questions for now. Advice will be greatly appreciated! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
