All, I have a sample app that I run on the Garmin iQue 3600 which registers for GPS callbacks. I receive the callbacks ok. When I switch to another app, say calculator, for example, my app terminates the event loop when an appStopEvent (?) event is raised. In my AppStop procedure I unregister from the callback. No problems.
But what I want to do is to keep the callback running when I switch to another app. Upto a point it seems to work, but whenever I try to switch to another app I always get an immediate soft reset. Clearly, I'm either trying to do something the Palm OS cannot do, or I'm trying to do something that should work, but my code is screwing up. I suspect the latter. Anyway, the short my post is this: Is it ok for me to run my app receiving callback while something else in on the go? Could someone perhaps give me some coding samples or pointers to links that show the code involved. I think I might need to involve some global variables later and I wonder if my inconsistent usage of the ones I've tried are not pulling my app down totally. I'm not sure what happens to memory in my app. Sorry, I'm quite new to this game. My iQue 3600 does seem to implement such techniques so I think it's possible. Any help appreciated. TIA.
