Well, the "Autostart" preference automatically launches the BOINC android application (which I mistakenly thought of as just the UI). The service components are hosted within the same JVM. When BOINC is automatically started at boot a little BOINC icon appears in the notification area.
Joachim, is it possible to break out the monitor service into its own process like the Google Maps location service? I tried to tweak that in Eclipse and Eclipse kept ignoring the teak to AndroidManifest.xml. Should we try and take and special precautions when Android notifies the monitor service that it is running low on memory? http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html#onTrimMe mory(int) http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ComponentCallback s2.html ----- Rom -----Original Message----- From: David Anderson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2013 2:34 PM To: Rom Walton Cc: Joachim Fritzsch; BOINC Developers Mailing List Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] Android Transition Portrait/Landscape mode On 16-Feb-2013 8:07 AM, Rom Walton wrote: > Just to clarify though, the current intent of the software is that the > BOINC client only runs when the UI us running in some form. Let's think carefully. Is this what we want? Probably not. It would mean that BOINC wouldn't run unless the user remembers to do something (i.e. launch the GUI). I think the goal is: if the user installs BOINC, it runs (invisibly) with no action on the user's part. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
