Android kills my background application

Hello fellow programmers,

I wrote a GPS application that stays running in the background (using Threadpersistent) to report the GPS coordinates every half an hour. Everything works well, except that Android kills the application every so often.
I have read that it will do that if it needs more memory to run other apps, however I am only running the basic pre-installed programs + my application and the available free memory is 1GB.
Has anybody else had this problem and found a solution for it? I need for the program to always be running.

Thank you in advance,

Homero.

Hi Homer
I am looking for a similar solution, that my application works in
background, could you solve it?

I also ThreadPersistent for a GPS application and I don't have this kind of problem...

I would suggest (just for a test) to set 1 minut instead half an hour ans see what happens...

I don't know how exactly works a persistent Thread but - may be - if it's inactive during half an hour android kills the application.

I'm really not sure, it's just a suggestion...

Regards - Eric.
