Hi all My requirement:
Need some piece of code executing every 5 minutes (no UI). This code needs to access server thru internet and get some data and use them on the device. This code is not heavy weight. Just light weight fetch of 5K to 10K. And the data is not always fetched. Data fetch from server happens only once a day or so. I thought about a service and have written one with a timer and a thread (does the server data fetch). But I read some articles and docs that a service might be *killed* by the OS in low memory or idle situations. Question: Whats the suggested method to achieve this goal in android? I would like the code to run even in low memory situations or at least be run after the memory situation gets better in the OS (OS can kill my code/ app and restart the code when its better; but don't wanna wait for hours). Thank you for the help! Jacob. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
