Task manager type apps aren't (in theory) needed or appropriate on Android. That's why you're having problems.
The system will automatically restart services that crash, because it believes some app depends on them. Why would your app know better? If some activity is connected to a service, force killing that service will just cause the activity to crash or hang. That's bad. The system will also manage the existence of processes and shut them down when no longer needed. It knows about everything running on the system, and can do a better job than any other program or human. I think your problem is that you installed some program that "leaked" a service, ie called start and then never called stop. In which case that program is buggy and needs to be fixed - the system can't tell the difference between a service that's running and doing something useful, and one that is just sitting there being useless. Neither can the user! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
