So is there any method I can use, to set the priority for a process? Linux normally has this ability (e.g. nice - Set process priority of new processes)
In the Android API I found a method to kill processes: killProcess(int pid) So is there any possibility for me as a developer to use a method like the killProcess-method zu manage the priority of a process?
