Android Question Short Service / SpecialUse

[Robert Valentino]

Am trying to fix the problem I seem to have with Starter service crashing Starter Service Crashing

An came across this Foreground service types and made me wonder could I define the Starter service in my manifest using
Short Service or Special Use and how would I do this

Just fishing and hope to catch something

this pretty much covers what you're asking:

Android 14 / targetSdkVersion 34 and Services

B4A v13.0+ should be used with targetSdkVersion 34+. Android 14 continues the longtime trend of making services less flexible and more difficult to use (converging to iOS background tasks features from 2014). Many of the previous use cases for services are better covered by receivers...

you just need to determine which might apply in your use case. using the type that requires
google's approval might be the one to avoid. just sayin'

you should read the link to android's documentation mentioned in the post. it's one of the rare
cases where the documentation almost makes sense.

note: there is another post floating around relating to the starter service crash. an interesting
issue may have been raised by agraham. you might want to keep an eye on that thread as it could
relate to what's happening in your case.
