Android Question Activity Loading externals app's

[scsjc]

Hello,

I want make service intercept when a user load a program, for that i'm use PackageName insisde of a service.

Now i use StartServiceAt every 500ms and look if the program is load, and when screenoff (PhoneEvents library) change to high 6000ms and comingback screenon change to 500ms. But that use a hi battery. (before that im use timer, but the people kill all process and finaly the timer)

is possible have a activity user when user touch screen or doing anything with phone ???

Why do you need to call StartServiceAt every 500ms? Use a foreground service instead (with StartServiceAt every few minutes).

Why do you need to call StartServiceAt every 500ms? Use a foreground service instead (with StartServiceAt every few minutes).

I restart every 500ms, because when push button kill proceses finally. and i think making startserviceat every time fix that.
I'm try to make a LookingAPP, (when user load "xxx app") the program lock phone...
i show my code, and upload a sample.
what you think??? Thanks.
(Sorry for my english)

because when push button kill proceses finally

Which button kills the process?

 

[scsjc]

Which button kills the process?

In samsung 5, when you push recent task (multitasking button), can you kill all processes, (right key option).

For that reason I change the code. In the first time I make with a timer, but this key kill proces.

If the user explicitly kills your app then StartServiceAt shouldn't work as well.
