Android Question how to use SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle

[Mark Ryan Penafiel]

I tried to follow Background location tracking example, need it running in foreground without being killed. Ater some hours, i checked. Foreground notification stopped.
I tried to look how to prevent it from stopping i saw SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle, but when i tried to replace StartServiceAt with SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle , it says Undeclared variable 'setexactandallowwhileidle' is used before it was assigned any value.

Another question
should i put this SetServiceAttribute(Tracker, android:foregroundServiceType, "location") in the manifest even some of the phones are not android 10+
i didnt saw this in the manifest

Thank you

You are using which B4A Version? Note that it is a mistake not to use V9.8 as it is free now.

Hi DonManfred,
I am using V9.8 but SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle is not recognized.

Thanks

B4A v8.00 StartServiceAt / StartServiceAtExact / SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle

Do we still need this code in B4A 8.00+: Sub SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle (Time As Long, ServiceName As String) Dim p As Phone If p.SdkVersion < 23 Then StartServiceAtExact(ServiceName, Time, True) Else Dim intex As Intent intex.Initialize("", "")...

It is a custom member sub.

It is not needed in b4a 8+
