The best way to do that is to create a PendingIntent
for a Service
and register it with the AlarmManager
:
Intent i = new Intent(this, LocationService.class);
PendingIntent pitch = PendingIntent.getService(this, 1, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,0,60*60*1000, pi); /* starting Service every hours. */
This will ensure that the Service
is periodically already at regular intermissions, independent on wether the user must brought the app to the spotlight or does.
How to start a Service when the Google application is started?
You can beginning the Service
automatically on application start by extending the Application
class:
public class MyApp extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
startService(new Intent(this, NetworkService.class));
}
}
and modify the applications
tag in your manifest
with
<application
android:icon="@drawable/icon"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:name="com.mycompanydomain.MyApp">
This works because the Petition
class is single by the primary entities to be created when an app launches. This wishes startup the Gift
irrespective of what the launch Activity
is.
