Hi all, I'm working on a messaging app that starts a service in the background that will receive messages from a Pebble smartwatch and then send out an sms message. Right at this moment, I'm trying to make it so that the service is always running in the background so that the user can always send texts even if the app isn't actually open. There is a private local variable in the service that contains the contacts that the user can send texts to. When I press the back button to exit the app after setting the contacts, the list persists and when I open the app again, I see the contacts. If I open up the all apps menu thing and swipe the app to exit it, the list is destroyed, however, I know the service is still running (I get Toasts from the service). I was under the impression that swiping the app closed and pressing the back button are the same. Are they not? Is there a way to make it so that the local variable is never destroyed as long as the service is running?
