But Diane, I just don't understand this position. Android allows apps to be started on BOOT_COMPLETED, which shows that it supports the concept of a background process that should be run at boot time, not only when the user launches the app. So why would post-install time be different? There are many apps that aren't just simple foreground processes, and by limiting what developers can do in this way you're not allowing us to take full advantage of the platform. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
