We are developing an app that stores data on a Server. The problem we face is that when there is no connectivity to the Server. When there is no connection, we will temporary store the data on the phone and then while running in the background determine when a connection exists and then upload the data. My question is, what is the best way to determine when a connection is available without chewing up the phones resources e.g. battery, data usage etc. Thanks Jon

Thank you Erel for your response. My question was really a 2 part question. One which you answered the second being the efficiency part. I don’t want to “crush” the battery as pointed out in: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/sleep-pause-wait-system-timer.12480/ So my remaining question is, which is the best method to wait the hour between HttpJob requests? Thank you -Jon

You should use StartServiceAt to schedule a service to run every hour. It will not have any significant impact on the battery.
Make sure to acquire a partial lock (PhoneWakeState) while your app is waiting for the download to complete.
