Joe Bowser updated CB-1458: --------------------------- Priority: Major (was: Critical) > Android's new "Limit background processes" setting in "Developer options" > breaks key PhoneGap functionality. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CB-1458 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1458 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Android, CordovaJS > Environment: Android 4.x.x > Reporter: trusktr > Assignee: Joe Bowser > > As of version 4.x.x, Android introduced a new ability to limit background > processes down to zero in Settings >> Developer Options >> Limit background > processes. > I'm not sure if this bug exists with the latest PhoneGap version, but I > noticed it using PhoneGap apps for android from Google Play. > After setting the option to "No background processes" I noticed the > following. If I try to use the Media abilities of PhoneGap in an app to chose > a photo or file from my system, then when the selector application returns, > the PhoneGap app will restart from the beginning because it's background > process was terminated. > If I set the option back to "Standard limit" then everything works just fine. > What do we do about this? Personally, I prefer to have the option set to "No > background processes" to prevent apps from needlessly wasting resources. It > works great and some apps won't get terminated if they subscribe to Android's > messaging system the proper way and will be dormant. > Anyways, with the setting turned to "No background processes", I've > experienced apps that still work properly. I think there must be some way to > fix this with PhoneGap. > This is a big deal because users should be allowed to set the option to "No > background processes if they so desire." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
