Running a Service that does some work in the Foreground

[Adrian Flores]

I've been struggling to get an application to run a service in the foreground for hours. I'm trying to create an application and I want some work to be done in the background on the phone so that even if the app is killed the work will still be done. I haven't been able to find any simple examples that work, I would appreciate some help -- even something as simple as a timer printing to logcat so that I can see that after killing the app, the program is still printing to logcat. Is this possible? I would like to use python, kivy and pyjnius (for an android application) to accomplish this if possible. Thanks in advance, I appreciate any tips!

For this you have to use Java API. Create a java class and add it to the builddozer.spec file and call it from the python main.py. hope its work . Try once

Generally https://github.com/Android-for-Python/Android-for-Python-Users#android-service

Specifically use a Sticky Foreground Service https://github.com/Android-for-Python/Android-for-Python-Users#sticky-foreground-service

And note in those docs how to stop a sticky service.

Please stop spamming this group with answers that are unreliable. Presumably from ChatGPT.
