Hey Dianne, Thank you for the tip on battery life. Will definitely try to make it as good as possible for the battery life.
Yes I considered using singleton pattern but again I still face with the issue where onDestroy will be called after onCreate when it should not happen and I need to keep track of that case also. So I would just go with AsynkTask but take care that my app is not eating up the battery. Thank you.
