Service, WakeLock

Question

I am bit confused after going through the questions & answers in Stackoverflow about WakefulIntentService. I just would like to get some knowledge on this t

Answer 1

I used the code below in an app.

Make sure your service is sticky:

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)
{
    //this service will run until we stop it

    return START_STICKY;
}

I you want your phone to be awake constantly u can use this code below:

private WakeLock wl;

PowerManager pm = (PowerManager)getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
    wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK | PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP, "whatever");
    wl.acquire();

Don't forget the permissions in your manifest.
