Occasional loss of functionality when not using foreground mode #6

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using myLock complete 2c, toggle off persistent settings notification 
icon (foreground mode)
2. Use the device for a while

Users have reported that rarely, myLock appears to be getting destroyed by 
the OS, resulting in random unexpected appearance of the lockscreen.

I believe this is due to memory management that occurs automatically. It 
may also be influenced by any task killer apps (which are largely 
unnecessary on android). The settings launcher in notifications also keeps 
the service running in foreground mode, protecting it from being shut off 
in low memory scenarios -it uses an extremely minimal CPU resource as it 
is.

I've managed to Log an example of Low Memory service death. This happened while 
launching a link to a wired article from a tweet.

As you can see, the system is systematically killing things off to get memory 
for the operation.
Now it's our turn. Our whole process gets completely shut down, same as a task 
killer might.

So now you know the benefit of running the status icon. You'll never get shut 
down in low memory situations, causing unexpected start/stop 
behavior
This might be critical for anyone using idle lock or toggle plug-in to ensure 
the right state is known.
