Android Question Background app with B4A?

[IamTrying]

In past i used Cordova and failed to make the Background service so that my app can run in the background like WhatsAPP. It wasted my three months.

The main reason now to start to learn B4A and B4I is only to make an app which i can run in backend. Once i learn the way, i want to buy license for Android and iOS tools.

Is it possible to make the background process with B4A and B4I?
is there any get started direction on that direction specifically?

Is it possible to make the background process with B4A and B4I?

Yes.
See this tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-long-running-background-tasks.27065/#content
And also: https://www.b4x.com/search?query=Service+modules

In iOS (B4i) you can do very specific things in the background as allowed by Apple.

Thank you.

My mission is to use StartAtBoot (which failed in my past Cordova implementation).

While checking the reference link found following key points.
How do you exactly set the `StartAtBoot` flag?

/* It will not be kept after a reboot. Use StartAtBoot attribute for that. */
#StartCommandReturnValue: android.app.Service.START_STICKY

Add a new service (not the starter service). You will see this line at the beginning:

#StartAtBoot: False

Change it to True.

In my Android phone i have B4A-Bridge installed but when i click the button START or STOP it does nothing. Also from B4A IDE i am unable to connect to upload my Android compiled app for testing. Is it normal or is it because i am using 30 days free trial version?
