Re: [android-developers] Turning off all of the APPS running in the background or setting the highest priority on my APP!!!
Hello Mark,
Thank you for your reply, I greatly appreciate it.
Fortunately...come on... :)... I guess there is a reason behinid it
is there?
So does that mean that android:priority=*2147483647* didn't do anything
for me in my Manifest. I read somewhere that this could have helped?... A
little bit confused here, but maybe I might have misread this...
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/intent-filter-element.html#priority
Nevertheless, would the application that is running be considred as
Foreground Process? Please let me know.
Thank you and Best Regards,
Sebo

Re: [android-developers] Turning off all of the APPS running in the background or setting the highest priority on my APP!!!
Yes, it's fortunately. :-) It's 'fortunately' for the developers of the e-mail/GPS/etc apps. If your app could take (almost) all CPU cycles, their apps will no longer run for some period of time and who knows what detrimental effects that could have on their apps. Then they would come to the android-developers group asking how they can avoid other apps from taking all the processing cycles or how they can set the priority even higher. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

android:priority is for IntentFilter matching, it has nothing to do with
thread priority. Also third party apps can't get an android:priority 0.

Re: [android-developers] Turning off all of the APPS running in the background or setting the highest priority on my APP!!!
Nathan, Sorry I haven't read your e-mail prior to sending my last response, but one more thing, again I understand the criticality of reason why we don't want to do it Just to clarify, I don't want to maliciously KILL the processes running in the background. I am currently writing an APP, which won't be ever on the MARKET for the ANDROID community to use. Instead this APP will be used for my company purposes. The reason why I was asking to do that is because I wanted to make sure that nothing else interrupts me while I am running (it is very time critical application that I am writing)... Is there someway that I could learn how to do this? If there are ways, I understand why you won't be able to give me the examples for that on this post, but is there someway that I could contact someone in ANDROID DEV group that will be able to provide me with this information Previously in this thread it was mentioned that The foreground process is already the highest prioiryt [sic] in the whole system., does anyone know what that means?

[android-developers] Turning off all of the APPS running in the background or setting the highest priority on my APP!!!
Hello All, Quick question, do you know if there is a way to turn off any APPS that run in the background (e-mail/GPS...), so my application while it is running won't be interrupted at all(Except for the OS of course)?. BOTTOM line the following is what I would like to do: 1. As soon as my APP Enters, it would turn off the other background APPS/Services/Tasks (Except for OS) from running. 2. Perform operations without being interrupted 3. On the exit, the APP would re-enable all of those apps to run? OR is there a way to tell when my application starts that my APP is the highest prioiryt in the whole system? I tried setting my Acitivity prioity (In the Manifest) to the highest possible and that didn't work that well. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.. I greatly appreciate it.
