WakeLocks have nothing to do with processes being killed. WakeLocks are to keep the CPU awake. If you are writing some data to the internal storage at a point in time when the device might want to go to sleep (e.g., as a scheduled operation via AlarmManager), holding a WakeLock is a really good idea. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
