Android Question Run A Service In The Background

[SpinBower]

Hi, i've finished the login part and I need to have a service running that repeatedly checks a file. What I have so far just gives an error and kills the app. Can someone tell me why?

'So The App Checks Something Then Runs This

StartService(CheckSettings)

'Here is the service file

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
Dim Name As String
Dim ListData As List
Public manager As AdminManager
Dim FTP As FTP
End Sub

Sub Service_Create

End Sub

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
CheckLostMode
End Sub

Sub Service_Destroy

End Sub

Sub CheckLostMode
If FTP.IsInitialized = False Then
FTP.PassiveMode = True
FTP.Initialize("FTP", "***********", 21, "******", "******")
End If
ListData = File.ReadList(File.DirInternal, "userdata.txt")
Name = ListData.Get(0)
Msgbox(Name, "")
FTP.PassiveMode = True
FTP.DownloadFile(Name & ".txt" , False, File.DirInternal, "userdata.txt")
End Sub

You are setting passive mode before the ftp object is initialized.

What is the error given, and where does it occur?

 

[SpinBower]

So when I don't run the service, the error does not occur so that means it in the service code. It dosent even have time to return an error it just says: "LostMode has stopped." Then Closes
