Android Question Can using ADB Commands help to "Android does not kill my app"?

[DonManfred]

In the search for a solution for a long running Service (Uploading files to our Server)
i found this Github project https://github.com/gotev/android-upload-service

Inside the code i found some shell-Scripts which uses ADB to Configure the Device.

#!/bin/bash
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

and

#!/bin/bash
PACKAGE="the app packagename"
adb shell am set-inactive "$PACKAGE" false
adb shell am get-inactive "$PACKAGE

Will they do help in case of Android is killing my app when in Background?

This is not an answer to your post, but I just wanted to make sure you knew about this resource:

Don’t kill my app!

Hey Android vendors, don’t kill my app!

No, i did not know it.

Seeing at the images in Red with ? Samsung Devices.
Note that we do use Samsung Tablets. But "only" Android 8.
I´ll check the app for sure ;-) Thank you for pointing me into this.

about this resource

Yesterday i installed the App and run a test for 8h inside the app.
The result shown today was successful.

What does it mean for me now?

Basically, when a user reports that one of my apps are being killed by the OS, I have them visit that website and they are usually able to try the applicable methods mentioned on the site for their device to fix the issue.

I have not used the site's app myself yet, so I don't know much about it.
