Ideally, you let the user choose: http://www.androidguys.com/2010/03/29/code-pollution-background-control/ > Do you trigger an update only when the screen is turned on? > Can that even be detected? There are ACTION_SCREEN_OFF and ACTION_SCREEN_ON broadcast Intents, but it is simpler to just use a non-wakeup alarm with AlarmManager. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
