Broadcasts
I don't know Android. If Android broadcasts system information such as "I am
powering off now", and if SL4A is able to receive these broadcasts, and if SL4A
is able to communicate these broadcasts to the scripting interface, and if the
communication can be accomplished quickly enough for the script to use them,
then please do.
EXAMPLE
I have a script running in the background with three baby threads: SMTP, POP3,
and NNTP clients. These babies have important thoughts in their memories and
these thoughts -- also the babies themselves -- would be forever lost if their
life support was suddenly stopped by the system. Since the script runs in the
background I never remember to shut it down before I power off the system, but
papa thread could put the babies safely to sleep if he knew it were necessary.
So my desire is that papa be sent some kind of warning that his babies are in
danger so that he can at least save their memories.
How about it -- can we help papa save his babies?
Other system broadcasts would also be useful.
