Android Question Http client request (memory cleaner)

[carloz]

hi all,

I have a service which uses httputils2 to check a mysql table and shows a notification...(1 process 2 services)
Everything works perfectly dandy and well...
Once i close/kill the app from the recent app list, my service restarts at the scheduled time, but httputils does not start again(1 process 1 service)
I have to manually open the app again to start httputls2 service...

Android OS 4.4.2

Following is the proc i use -- called from service_start()

Sub checkoffers()
'ToastMessageShow("checking offers now " & p.GetDeviceId,False)
 
Dim req As HttpRequest
req.InitializeGet(actscreen.RootPath & "/checkoffer.php?ID=" & p.GetDeviceId)
hc.Execute(req, 1) 
End Sub

Can some think of why this could happen?

regards
carloz

Why aren't you using HttpUtils2?

Are you sure that the service is started? On Android 4.4 the OS doesn't start services if the user killed the app.

shifted to httpUtils2...and yes 4.4 did not restart service after user killed app..
