Android Service help needed

[Max Bedacht]

My app uses a service to capture gps positioning data. (I used the kivy_service_osc example as a base).

The problem is that when the app is paused by Android the service seems to be stopped as well, thereby not capturing any more gps data. I would like to be able to start capturing and then put the phone down, possibly for long periods,  and then , when awakened, read the gps information from the service.

Is there any way I can get Android to keep the service active when the main app is paused - maybe even if the main app ends?

Services should keep running in these cases. Ours does (downloading content). Perhaps it's crashing? Maybe try a timed loop where you log the state of the service to pickup what is happening....

I managed to determine that the service kept running after a pause with logcat. Something seems to be stopping the service, sometimes, but not always. I'm going to try a few alternatives to see if I can isolate the condition that is stopping the service.
