Android Question Service Restart time problem on some devices

[FrankBerra]

Hi all
On some devices (with Android 6+) i experiencing some delays in restartin my services when the phone is idle.
So i found and tried this piece of code: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...estartatexact-not-accurate.65117/#post-412286

Now the service is restarting every 2 minutes even if i call it, let say, 30 minutes....where i am wrong?
How can i restart the service at a precise time even if the phone is idle?

Thank you

SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle behaves exactly like StartServiceAt behaved on older devices.

Make sure that the time is set correctly.

I feel confused...
here (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...getsdkversion-19-and-above.53934/#post-338220) is written that ServiceStartAtExact will be added on "next" version but the codes proposed are really similar to codes proposed here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/now-android-6-servicestartatexact-not-accurate.65117/

So does ServiceStartAtExact is doing the same as setExactAndAllowWhileIdle ?

Google has changed the API multiple times.

First there was StartServiceAt.
Then StartServiceAtExact was needed.
And now SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle is needed if you want to force the device to wake up at the exact time.

Can it be that "CancelScheduledService" does not work with SetExactAndAllowWhileIdle?

am.RunMethod("setExactAndAllowWhileIdle", Array(0, Time, pi))

Thanks
