Re: [android-developers] Re: Service launch issues
Wait, I just realized something... you are wanting your activity to run in the background? AFAIK this isn't possible... why are you wanting to do this?

RE: [android-developers] Re: Service launch issues
You can't run an activity in the background. You can start the service, have it run its code and save that data. When my app first starts after boot it goes right into a service. When the service is done I create a notification icon. When the user clicks the notification it then loads the Activity. The activity then pulls in the info the service gathered from the SQLlite DB. If you are using eclipse, turn debug on in the mainifest, then flip over to debug view in eclipse and you should be able to see the logcat.

I know there is a way to get logcat to run with phone tethering. Also sorry for the cross post it seemed at the time the topic was dead so I wanted to post it over here to get a second look.

You really need to post your stack crawl. If you can't get adb connected, you can't reasonably do development.

RE: [android-developers] Re: Service launch issues
If I were you assuming everything is working now and your app isn't crashing, I would put the code you want to run in the background into your service. If you need to save any data save it to a SQLlite database or xml file or whatever. I would then create a notification icon in the top menu of the phone. When the user clicks the icon have it launch your activity there. Inside your activity either in onResume or onStart have it pull the most recent data from you DB or xml file. Now when the user closes your app it will stil have the service running and the next time the enter the app your activity will refresh itself from the database or other file.
