M Markos Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 27, 2017 #1 Hi All There are aspects of B4X I have not yet found a use as yet. The Service module. Can some explain when and why to use this feature. I can assume it isnto run methods or events as a background process. If that is the case Im wondering what are the benefits of using a usual module using timer events?

Thanks Erel. What is the best option in my use case ? My service connects to a server every 5 seconds. Use a timer and let the service running, or Start/Stop the service every 5 seconds with StartServiceAt and StopService? Upvote 0
