Wake app up

[aaronk]

Hello,

I hope someone can help me out..

I am connecting to a TCP device using the Network Tutorial (http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-getting-started-tutorials/7001-android-network-tutorial.html)

It works fine but I want the app to run in the background and when it gets a a message lets say '123' to open the app up or even just play a sound.

Not sure if it can also be done where if the app closes allow a service to connect to the TCP device and wait for this command.

Is anyone able to help?

Hello,

I have now got it working by using the same network Tutorial but loading a connection in a service module.

Now it seems to work when the app is close, as its now running as a service. (which means I now have 2 connections to the same device.)

Does anyone know how to make it wake the device up or if the device is active make it load my app up using a service?

The wireless will be turned off when the device sleeps. You will need to acquire a partial lock with PhoneWakeState. However this will prevent the device from sleeping.

I will give it a go.
