Android activity in the background - GPS recording

advertisements

I'm developing application where I have Activity that records GPS positions. It registers for LocationListener updates and stores recorded Location to SQLite database. My problem is that when the user hides my app or runs another app, my app and recording activity goes to background and may be killed by system. Thus, no GPS data is stored. I want that my app and recording activity still records GPS locations even if the app goes to background. How to achieve that?

Thanks


A Service is the best for what you intend to do.

Make shure you start the service STICKY
