I do tend to test that code on hardware, because the emulator never really falls asleep, so I prefer to use something where I know the WakeLocks will take effect. That being said, based on other work, I feel rather strongly that "receivers, alarms, services, etc." work just fine -- it's only WakeLocks that I'm worried about in terms of the tech you've been dealing with on this issue. You might consider creating a fresh AVD or something. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
