Android Question Server type App

[Markos]

Hi All,

I want to have my app running even when the phone screen saver or power saving kicks in. Will starting a service be the way to go? If so please direct me to a tutorial or example thanx

Yes, most likely you will need a Service to run in the background, in addition you will probably need to acquire a partial Lock so that the CPU doesn't doesn't go to sleep, this is only if you require to run a background task.

Check out the tutorial on Services

Good luck!
