dagodom Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 24, 2019 #1 Hello from the post: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/device-owner-tasklock-kiosk-apps-2017.81765/ I read : "Another thing that you can do for a kiosk application is to run another app with a foreground service that starts the main app with an intent every minute. If the app is already running then nothing will happen (assuming that the main activity is visible). If it crashed for some reason then it will be restarted. This is a good approach for apps that need to run for very long times. " Can anyone give me an example / directions of how to create this app / service? Thanks

dagodom Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 24, 2019 #3 Thanks I had already read and implemented it. I was looking for the alternative solution that was not affected by the Android versions, it seemed to me that in the sentence I had identified in the previous post there was the solution. Upvote 0
