The everlasting service should not be necessary. Use addProximityAlert() for various coordinates around the perimeter, then react as they get close to (or past) the fence. That way, you do not need to keep a service in memory, which tends not to work forever. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
