Android Question My app is stopped / killed

[Nizze]

Hi all .

I have an app that is supposed to run 24/7 .
But i think OS is killing it .

I have setup the tablet ( Samsung ) with appropriate settings ( battery savings etc ) .
The tablet is always on and connected to power .

And i have taken part of code that i found here on the forum to prevent app from closing .

Fx I have put in these lines:

Service.AutomaticForegroundMode = Service.AUTOMATIC_FOREGROUND_ALWAYS
DontSleep.PartialLock
DontSleep.KeepAlive(True)

And i have tryed to change things here and there but it still keeps turning my app off.

Is there anything to do to prevent Android from killing my app ?
Or shall i restart app by timer or anything else .

Some devices have both a "Power Savings" option that you can turn on or off, along with a separate section that you can "whitelist" a particular app to NOT be power optimized. So I would see if you can whilelist you particular app.

You could also try making the app a "kiosk" app:

Android "Kiosk mode" tutorial

Edit: A better kiosk implementation is available: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/device-owner-tasklock-kiosk-apps-2017.81765/#post-518018 Kiosk mode applications are applications that lock the device and do not allow the user to run any other application other than the kiosk...

But in the end, there may be no way to make the app truly run 24/7 on all devices.

Hi
Thanks for answering JohnC , I have done all settings that i can find ( Power savings etc ).
It did not help . Ihave stillthe same problem .


I have one Activity and one service .
And i also use Google maps App and start it from my app ( With my service still running in the back . )

If i restart my app lets say once or twice every day/night , can that help ?

Run this app on your tablet: Background location tracking

Don't make any change.

Is it killed?
