Android Question Msgbox and Service

[DT1111]

Hi

I have used the Starter service to do a simple counter which calls a sub in the Main to display the number.

In the Main I have a button_click sub which shows a MsgBox.

When the Msgbox appears, the counter stops. I thought Starter service allows background task to take place and I was expecting the counter to continue even when the Msgbox appears.

How do I make the counter continues even when the msgbox appears?

I have attached a zip file.

Thanks.

In my knowledge, you can not use "Msgbox" in a service.

You can check:

The MsgBox was called from a sub within the Main though and not in the Stater service. This is different from running a Msgbox from within a Starter service. No?

This is crucial especially if the Starter Service is running some critical processes and a Msgbox is called within the Main, prompting the user if he/she wants to save a file or something of that sort ... and if the user procrastinates and takes a few minutes to respond, it will be a few minutes of unresponsive Starter service.

There must be a solution to this IMO.

Thanks.

No events will fire when a modal dialog is displayed. It doesn't matter whether the code is in a service or an activity.

Use a non-modal dialog (regular panel).
