Thanks for pointing out the sample project for this. Sorry I have not had a chance to download this but will be doing it tomorrow night and will try it out.
One other question for this. I see in the screen shot you have a button to click to run it as a background service. Is there a way to have a program written with Hypernext run automatically with the phone? And can it be started as background service or put that way without showing the screen first?
The notification icon would be great! I told others I know that does programming for Androids and knowing an app can be run as a background service was a big plus. They asked about the notification icon as well. So I imagine it would help your market if it was added.
Thanks,
Warren
A HAC built app will automatically run in the background, for instance whenever the user switches to another app or makes a phone call. As the app programmer you can leave the default
Quit menu option in place or allow your users to quit by pressing a button etc.
The issue of allowing an app to start up automatically when the phone reboots is a contentious one and so we have deliberately not implemented that feature but might consider it again in the future. Howver, there seem to be some Android startup apps that can allow the user to specify which app to give startup permission to.
