How to keep a foreground app running 24/7?

Question

I am looking into how to keep my Android app running in the foreground.

It will be a privately distributed app, so I can do anything possible to make sure it runs consta

Answer 1

I solved that issue by having a sticky service running that relaunches the app when the activity is getting closed.

//Your activity

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

    if (yourservice != null) {
        yourservice.validateActivityOnPause();
    }
}

and in the validateActivityOnPause() have something like:

//Your service

public void validateLynxActivityOnPause() {
    //Do some stuff here

    Intent startActivityIntent = new Intent(this, LynxActivity.class);
    startActivityIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    this.startActivity(startActivityIntent);
}
