[ I posted<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12722794/remote-service-killed-while-main-process-bound-to-it>this on StackOverflow a few days ago but didn't get an answer to the main issue (only a workaround) ]
On my Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (official) sometimes the OS goes on a killing spree and the log has these kinds of entries: 10-02 22:24:34.992 I/ActivityManager( 306): Killing > 7517:com.google.android.apps.reader/u0a77: remove task > 10-02 22:24:36.484 I/ActivityManager( 306): Killing > 7465:com.tf.thinkdroid.sg:writedroid/u0a50: remove task > 10-02 22:24:37.273 I/ActivityManager( 306): Killing > 5924:com.metago.astro/u0a73: remove task > 10-02 22:24:37.296 W/ActivityManager( 306): Scheduling restart of crashed > service com.metago.astro/.jobs.JobService in 5000ms > 10-02 22:24:37.656 I/ActivityManager( 306): Killing > 7302:org.jtb.alogcat/u0a84: remove task > 10-02 22:24:38.148 I/ActivityManager( 306): Killing > 7120:com.google.android.gm/u0a19: remove task Unfortunately one of the processes being killed is my remote service that has a running app bound to it. Indeed, the service is restarted immediately afterwards but this causes inconsistent behavior in my app. In Service Lifecycle<https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html#ServiceLifecycle>it says: > A service can be both started and have connections bound to it. In such a > case, the system will keep the service running as long as either it is > started or there are one or more connections to it with the > Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE flag. My app binds to the remote service with Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE so I was under the impression that the remote service will stay up as long as the main process is bound to it. How can I make Android not kill the remote service? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
