    1. COAn Android service is, obviously, unique to Android. The more important questions would be if the (unspecified) functionality you wish to implement with this is a) permitted by Apple (or other platform creators) and b) what mechanism would be used on those platforms to do it. Generally, what (and when/due to what trigger) you can do things in the background on iOS is much more restricted than on Android.

    2. CORight.. so adding a android service will destroy Phonegap flavor in which one can readily build apps for other platform.... Edited my question to provide background operation details.

    3. COWell, the "adding an android service" would have to be repeated (and repeatable!) with a comparable mechanism on each of the other platforms. FWIW the regular update task in your edit sounds like the kind of thing you cannot do on iOS as there are fairly limited mechanisms for starting up in the background without user interaction, and limited durations you are allowed to keep running the background. So you might really want to ask is if that is doable (/store approvable) on iOS at all, irrespective of phonegap vs objective C as a development method.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
