    <p><strong>As reference, this is on Android, and this is the <a href="http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/156480/application-crashes-after-a-period-in-the-background-including-services" rel="nofollow">Titanium Forum Post</a></strong></p> <p>I'm noticing this issue with several applications I've done with Appcelerator, all of them: no matter if they are simple apps or complex apps, but is more frequent in larger apps.</p> <p>For example, I'm working on an application that needs to notify its location (GPS location) every 5 minutes. The application works perfectly when working in foreground, however, every time I put the app on the background (if I minimize the app by using the Home button) the application just crashes and all the services are stopped.</p> <p><strong>For notifying the application, here's the flow I'm using:</strong></p> <ol> <li>When I start the application, I start an Alarm, using the <a href="https://github.com/benbahrenburg/benCoding.AlarmManager" rel="nofollow">AlarmManager module</a>.</li> <li>This AlarmManager, adds a new Alarm Service, which will be triggered every 5 minutes.</li> <li>Every 5 minutes, the AlarmManager starts the service and notifies the server with the current location.</li> </ol> <p><strong>This works great.</strong></p> <p>If I hit the "Home" button, the application just crashes (on the Application Manager) sometimes, but is more frequent when using other applications on the foreground while leaving this app on the background.</p> <p>I thought this was because the main Activity was stopped, so I decided to maintain the main activity / task state by using <code>android:alwaysRetainTaskState="true"</code></p> <p>If I reopen the application, the application just restarts. This happens more on low-end devices than on high-end devices, which makes me think that this is a memory issue.</p> <p><strong>I have some questions:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Is this the expected behaviour?</li> <li>If so, how can I mitigate this (maybe a native module/service?)?</li> <li>Is my current flow the best flow for doing this or is there a better approach?</li> </ol> <p>Any thoughts are more than appreciated.</p>

    1. COdoes it crash on actual devices or just the emulator?

    2. COhi Rece! It crashes on actual device, more likely to crash when running or executing several other apps (which makes me think it's a memory issue). It only happens when doing the location report, btw.

    3. COdang. sorry to hear that. I have been through tricky situations like this with titanium before. The only thing that worked for me was removing anything that seemed too complex/hacky, and trying to do it a different way. Hope you figure it out!

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.
