hi,
bellow just a test sample source for a background thread.
i would like that when my app is closed it still run in the background
(like at my tracks) to collect data even when it is closed.
but it always dies after a while by itself, why?
thanks
chris

}
}
Log.i("DATABASE-TEST","-----------: END THREAD");
// Done with our work... stop the service!

}
};
