Description

Hello, I want to thank you for all the efforts !

I am trying the service auto-restart function with my phones : Asus Z00ED (Android version 5.0.2) and Asus X018D (Android version 8.1.0)

1. The build worked fine
2. The service started when starting the App
3. When i pause the App, the service still works,
4. The service stopped when deleting the App from the "recent app menu" and never restarts.

The log is :

I/ActivityManager( 857): Killing 10432:com.background.back/u0a181 (adj 9): remove task
W/ActivityManager( 857): App Op not allow to restart app com.background.back/10181
I/ActivityManager( 857): Process com.background.back:service_Service (pid 10462) has died
W/ActivityManager( 857): App Op not allow to restart app com.background.back/10181

Thank you for helping me

#    Let's take [app] / source.exclude_patterns.
#    Instead of doing:
#
#[app]
#source.exclude_patterns = license,data/audio/*.wav,data/images/original/*
#
#    This can be translated into:
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns]
#license
#data/audio/*.wav
#data/images/original/*
#


#    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    Profiles
#
#    You can extend section / key with a profile
#    For example, you want to deploy a demo version of your application without
#    HD content. You could first change the title to add "(demo)" in the name
#    and extend the excluded directories to remove the HD content.
#
#[app@demo]
#title = My Application (demo)
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns@demo]
#images/hd/*
#
#    Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#buildozer --profile demo android debug

Hi,
Look at #1271 (comment)

Is it working ?

[tamano123]

@Sirfanas
Thank you for your suggestion.

I changed this line :
android:launchMode="singleTask"

by this
android:launchMode="singleInstance"

in these files :

• /home/kivy/Dev/background/.buildozer/android/platform/build/dists/back/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
• /home/kivy/Dev/background/.buildozer/android/platform/build/dists/back/AndroidManifest.xml

but i still have the same error :
