  1. PORemote service killed while main process bound to it
    text
    copied!<p>On my Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (official) sometimes the OS goes on a killing spree and the log has these kinds of entries:</p> <pre><code>10-02 22:24:34.992 I/ActivityManager( 306): Killing 7517:com.google.android.apps.reader/u0a77: remove task 10-02 22:24:36.484 I/ActivityManager( 306): Killing 7465:com.tf.thinkdroid.sg:writedroid/u0a50: remove task 10-02 22:24:37.273 I/ActivityManager( 306): Killing 5924:com.metago.astro/u0a73: remove task 10-02 22:24:37.296 W/ActivityManager( 306): Scheduling restart of crashed service com.metago.astro/.jobs.JobService in 5000ms 10-02 22:24:37.656 I/ActivityManager( 306): Killing 7302:org.jtb.alogcat/u0a84: remove task 10-02 22:24:38.148 I/ActivityManager( 306): Killing 7120:com.google.android.gm/u0a19: remove task </code></pre> <p>Unfortunately one of the processes being killed is my remote service that has a running app bound to it. Indeed, the service is restarted immediately afterwards but this causes inconsistent behavior in my app.</p> <p>In <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html#ServiceLifecycle" rel="nofollow">Service Lifecycle</a> it says:</p> <blockquote> <p>A service can be both started and have connections bound to it. In such a case, the system will keep the service running as long as either it is started or there are one or more connections to it with the Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE flag.</p> </blockquote> <p>My app binds to the remote service with <code>Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE</code> so I was under the impression that the remote service will stay up as long as the main process is bound to it. How can I make Android not kill the remote service?</p> <p>NOTE: The bounty is for explaining why the code doesn't seem to work according to the documentation.</p>
