[android-developers] Service or no service
after reading the article http://www.androidguys.com/2009/09/09/diamonds-are-forever-services-are-not/ I want to ask about creating an Android app that need to run always! The app is an ftp server listening for my PC client to send pictures. The sending can occur anytime so the Android server MUST run Here's the question: From the article above a read Service can be killed by the user and the android system. The can fall asleep when the device falls asleep. What about Activity´s, can i do this simply trough an Activity? If my activity create a thread for the server to run in. When a client connect, the thread will receive the picture(s) and notify Activity and then thread continue Listen. What are the considerations here? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
