This is what I would expect to happen.

The Activity has a screen. You haven't defined any objects on the screen, so it has started the Service and displays the blank screen...

What exactly are you trying to achieve here?

You could probably set the Activity to not display...

I would suggest reading the documentation.

hi eps, the idea is start a service in background without any activity visible, because the idea is run a background code and dont need show nothing to the user.

Your other option is to start the service after device boot. This is done by choosing Project - Service properties - Start at boot.

Hadn't realised this, thanks for that Erel
