Android Question Is this sub from your Android GPS tutorial running in the foreground or background?

[Vern]

I've been staring at this for a while and can't determine if the service is being started in the foreground or background. Which is it?

Sub Activity_Resume
If Starter.GPS1.GPSEnabled = False Then
ToastMessageShow("Please enable the GPS device.", True)
StartActivity(Starter.GPS1.LocationSettingsIntent)
Else
Starter.rp.CheckAndRequest(Starter.rp.PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
Wait For Activity_PermissionResult (Permission As String, Result As Boolean)
If Result Then CallSubDelayed(Starter, "StartGPS")
End If
End Sub

Unless you see a call to Service.StartForeground, the service isn't started in the special foreground state.
Also note that the starter service cannot start in the foreground.
