Hi John, According to your requirements, you need to ask /init to start a new service for you. You can specify this in your /init.<yourboardname>.rc which is located in device/<manufacturer>/<device> in AOSP. To get into Android init language, have a look readme<https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/readme.txt> and the code <http://androidxref.com/4.2.2_r1/xref/system/core/init/>. On elinux <http://elinux.org/Android_Booting>, there are valuable info about Android init sequence.
Quick note: if your service is unstable (dev on-going), do not make it critical (yet): critical This is a device-critical service. If it exits more than four times in four minutes, the device will reboot into recovery mode. Good luck, Emeric On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 9:58 AM, Tom Johnson <tej0...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, I'm some what new to Android Development, but have 20 + years of > software development experience, mostly in C and C#, little bit of Java.
