I have a specialized application. This is for internal-use only and not for public release. It does extensive image processing within an AsynTask & updates a progress bar on screen to keep the user informed as to where it is at. Since it's thousands of images, the application might run for hours, even a day or so before being done with all the images.
It is running fine when I test it with a couple of hundred images. If the screen times-out, the processing seems to stop (onPause() called). I do not want this behaviour. Nor do I want to run it in a service & have Android wipe it out (also I'd like the progress bar to be updated continuously). So here's my workaround: I set screen time- out value of the device to "Never", keep the device plugged in(charging), and run the application. My question: is this an acceptable workaround? Does it have any negative side effects? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
