Android Question Create a service that will start the service of another app

[Mark Ryan Penafiel]

I am building an app with long running service which should be killed. It works fine for lower version of android but for android 4.4, it seems to be killed.
I already made it as foreground , placed the code:

#StartCommandReturnValue: android.app.Service.START_STICKY

After 2-3 days, the apps seems to be killed.

I read in other forums that this is bug for android 4.4. so to remedy this, i am thinking of a watching app. if main app is killed by the OS, or atleast the service, the watcher app will check the status of the service of the main app, and start it again,

Please guide me how will be done

Thanks

Use StartServiceAt to schedule it to start every 10 minutes.

it is schedule every 1 min. will be this cause for crashing? how can i call the service of a different app so i can restart it if it crashes

No. Is it crashing or is it being killed? If it crashes then you need to monitor the logs and fix the error.

The code from this post starts a service of a different app: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...sample-from-another-b4a-app.15340/#post-87489
