Android Question how to send an event before the stand-by device

[Roberto P.]

HI
someone but say if I can launch an event before the device goes into Stand-by, so I can record the GPS position in which the device is located

thank you

What do you mean with "stand by"?

You can use StartServiceAt to do something every 30+ minutes.
You can make a foreground service and keep your app running all the time.

Hi Erel
when the device goes into sleep mode.

I tried to create a featured service, but I can not keep the app active. You can give me some indication. Although I fear that it consumes too much battery.

So, I was thinking about managing event when the app is going to go into sleep mode.

thank you

You need to create a foreground service. This will allow you to do something when the screen turns off (with PhoneEvents).

Not possible unless your app is currently running.

I have already created two services that remain (should) active. One is a starter and another service to manage GPS. or do I have to set some particular parameter settings?

ok.
