How to to run a function in background even after the app is closed?

[jarlissonlira2 (Jarlisson José)]

Yes, it is capable.

@vknow360

Is compiler able to add that element to manifest without update?

Yes,you can test the push notification Extension

[jarlissonlira2 (Jarlisson José)]

I thought they didn’t understand. Excuse me

because the services are added in the same tag as the activities.

I’m curious how this works. Can you explain?

[Atom_Developer]

@Atom_Developer

It is still possible,

You guys may re-read this post to understand

@Atom_Developer

Now you would have a question in mind that how can it work without update

This is also explained

[Shreyash (Shreyash Saitwal)]

That’s not what I’m asking. @jarlissonlira2 said:

What I want to know is how adding service tags to the activity tag works?

[Atom_Developer]

@Shreyash

What I want to know is how adding service tags to the activity tag works

As the compiler writes activity directly into the manifest,Service is also given as a activity so it directly writes service into manifest

[Shreyash (Shreyash Saitwal)]

@Atom_Developer

Service is also given as a activity so it directly writes service into manifest

How does the compiler determines that it is a service and not an activity?

[Atom_Developer]

This is from a extension which contains service(from json) :
activities":["<service android:name=“abc.efg”>\n </service>\n"]
This is from a extension which contains activity(from json) :
activities":["<activity android:name=“activityname”>\n"]

[Shreyash (Shreyash Saitwal)]

Hmm. So, it means that its more of a hack than the actual implementation of services. I’d rather wait for the nb184 release which has the MIT approved implementation of services.

It works without any bug,you can test it.
I even checked my app manifest after compiling it and it clearly shows what i want

Me too.
After release I shall start working on the extension(my dream project) if I get time.

It will be free

I indeed never said it doesn’t work.

Ok, but if the new nb184 release is there, will you adapt your extension accordingly?

Yes,but still what is the problem there,that repo was also approved i think

[jarlissonlira2 (Jarlisson José)]

Am I infringing on any legality of the platform?
Can anyone misuse it?

If someone answers these questions, I can delete it and temporarily disable all of my extensions that I used for construction.

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

@jarlissonlira2

If my repository has a legality problem, could you name which ones?

What do you mean by “legality problem”?
(Maybe this should be asked in the AI2 forum.)

[jarlissonlira2 (Jarlisson José)]

I want to know if I’m doing something wrong with the distribution of this repository.

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

I don’t think you are doing anything wrong.
Since App Inventor is open source so you should refer to license to learn more.

I have posted the link in the PowerUser forum (AI2).
I don’t think that there is any problem, but if I got a responce from Evan Patton (MIT) I’ll post it here.
