    <p>I'm developing an app designed to transform an android phone into a remote device running without user action. At the time the app is made by an Activity that sets AlarmManager to execute a service (class inside project) every X minutes.</p> <p>All this works OK, but occasionally <strong>after 5-6 DAYS continuosly running</strong> the application crashes (currently I don't know why, because i can't get the phone now). It isn't a connection problem (I know) and the phone is still running (plugged into AC). The only thing that i can suppose is that the application is down.</p> <p>I don't think that this is due to a bug, because the prew debugging doesn't give me any errors.</p> <p>So I must suppose that android has killed the activity (system needs more memory?) and as the image explain there is no way to back it up. </p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/1KbGb.png" alt="Flow diagram"></p> <p>But I have a doubt: in my application the activity doesn't matter, because all the work is done by the service. The service itself is called by an Alarm Manager and in the time between two calls the service is terminated by StopSelf().</p> <p>In my case the system may kill my alarm manager service schedule? </p> <p><strong>What can I do to have the service start up by Alarm Manager forever?</strong> </p> <p>(<em>ATTENTION</em>: currently there is yet a WAKE LOCK but this consider only the execution of the service! I hope that you have understand that the service is called each x minutes by alarm manager and than terminated...i want to perform this operations for an indefinite time) </p> <p>[I haven't posted the source code because is too long]</p>

    1. COGet the phone, read the log, find out why it crashes. Instead of all the assumptions you have made in your question. It's actually unanswerable.

    2. CO@BlundellPlease trust me...The phone is on a roof 12 km from here. I can't get the phone now! My assumptions are true beacuse the app comunicate witha server and so i know that the last battery level is 100% (=> no power problem) and the app worked for 5 days perfect sending info each 5 minutes (=> no app's bugs). So the only problem is due to android OS that had killed my app (or my alarm manager?!?) That's the question...@Matt Clarkson the problem is that android OS killed something because the alarm manager doesn't lunch more the service. Thanx

    3. COAnd why did you send the phone to a roof 12km away if the application has not been thoroughly tested ? Does it run in the emulator ?

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.
