Panos, as usual, this is terrific information! I am applying your advice
immediately.

The app I’m developing runs continuously once launched, recording quantities
such as the elepsed time and sensor data. In the version I’ve managed to load
into my phone (thanks, Panos!) it does this quite efficiently, but if the phone
locks or another app is launched, my app stops running and ap
