This is already something that we are investigating, though it isn't yet scheduled for a release as I said: "Currently our approach for scheduling is that apps doing background work on a thread should lower that thread's priority -- the standard applications on Android do this. This has holes however, and allows people to mistakenly do background work at a higher priority, so we should more strongly enforce the scheduling of processes that are not running the foreground UI." We are looking at more strongly enforcing that background applications can not take too many cycles from the foreground. Fwiw, Windows does something like this with its process scheduling categories. We'll probably do something similar. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
