You are not using the latest version of DBRequestManager and you are not using it correctly.

See the tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-rdc-remote-database-connector.61801/#content

The problem is when I leave the Main Activity I stop the service http with this sentences "StopService(HttpUtils2Service)", when i should use it or how i should use it?.
I use it because In some activities i send a remote server request but i don't recive the answer after that I navigate to an other activity then the answer arrive then request owner Activity appear in foreground.

I would like wait for the server answer only 5 or 10 seconds, but not 30 seconds, How i can do it?

You should move the Communicationpart to a Service. Calling the RDC and getting the answer. You can forward the answer to the rigth activity then

The Starter Service is good for it.

Thanks for your answerb @DonManfred. It´s seems good, can you shere with me an example with interaction between Starter service and the activity?

Activity

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    CallSub2(Starter,"CheckGoogle",Me)
End Sub
Sub TheResult(result As String)
    Log("This is the result from the Service-okhttpcall:")
    Log(result)
End Sub

Starter

public Sub CheckGoogle(callback As Object)
    Dim Job As HttpJob
    Job.Initialize("Job1",Me)
    
    Job.Download("https://google.com")
    Wait For (j) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
    If j.Success Then
        Dim result As String = j.GetString
        If IsPaused(callback) = False Then
            CallSub2(callback,"TheResult",result)
        End If
    Else
        ' Send the error to another sub if you want
    End If
    j.Release
End Sub
