Android Question [Starter Service] Is there an example available?

[fredo]

I want to equip a larger B4a project with the new "Starter service" to optimize the stability of the app.

After some searching in the forum I am not sure if changing the source is a trivial task, or whether I have to consider a lot of "do's and don'ts".

Would it be possible to obtain a small sample project ?

The starter service is explained here: Starter Service - Consistent & Single Entry Point
And in the beginner's guide: https://www.b4x.com/android/documentation.html

It should be quite simple to move all (or most of) the process_global variables to the starter service and initialize them in Service_Create. This way you will know for sure that they are all initialized.

You can have a look at the SQLiteLight2 and SQLiteLicht3 examples in the SQLiteLight Three simple SQLite projects thread.

Thank you Erel, thank you Klaus!

After 3years with B4A I was too arrogant to have a look in the most recent BeginnersGuide and UserGuide.

The text and the samples included there show exact what is needed to make use of the Starter Service.
