To clarify, you will need to ensure that you can reload those static globals as needed. While the process probably sticks around between alarms, it might not, in which case those globals will be null and you will have to regenerate that data. Consider these static globals to be an optimization, not a load-bearing beam of your app. -- 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.
