What is the best way to make an Android app AUTOMATICALLY execute a series of certain commands periodically?
I just published an app called the Battery Saver Flashlight. The source code is on GitHub at https://github.com/jhsu-android/BatterySaverFlashlight . This app has a settings page, and I want it to AUTOMATICALLY update the status of the WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS functions (on or off). The Bluetooth status and the GPS status lag the action of clicking the Enable/Disable buttons and thus don't get updated. I tried to use ScheduledExecutorService to implement automatic status updating, but the app kept quitting on me. The messages in Eclipse said that I needed to use static functions to avoid a memory leak. Unfortunately, it looked like I'd have to make everything in the script a static function. So I decided to leave this feature out until I can get it to work properly. The user has to hit the back button (returns to the introduction page) and then click on the Continue button in order to update the status.
