[android-developers] Re: How do I create a background loop method
Thanks for your answers, there are no Server connections required for my method. What I'm doing is to check my actual position and compare it to defined areas in the database. if I find a matching Area I want to start an Intent and notify the user. If I get it right, my method should be a Broadcast receiver which will be triggered by the AlarmManager, is this right? so I will push my futher resarches in the direction of alarmManager. If you got some examples I would appreciate if you send me a link. regards larry On 1 Sep., 02:47, JP joachim.pfeif...@gmail.com wrote: A partial wake lock will do the trick, except in that it places a burden on the battery beyond normal operation.

If I get it right, my method should be a Broadcast receiver which will be triggered by the AlarmManager, is this right? And if there is significant work to be done, the BroadcastReceiver should probably delegate to an IntentService, since onReceive() runs at foreground priority on the main application thread. so I will push my futher resarches in the direction of alarmManager.

If your result is something a server knows about, you could use the C2DM thing to wake up your app instead of polling every x minutes. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
