JakeBullet70 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 17, 2016 #1 Hi all. Trying to create an app with no gui. just basically a service that's runs at startup and monitors some things and logs to a text file. I have that working fine. But I want to get rid of the activity screen. How do I do that? thanks.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 18, 2016 #6 1. Just call Activity.Finish in Activity_Create of the main activity. 2. You need to add another service. The starter service should never be explicitly started. Upvote 0
