Background service support, especially for WM, SB, Android,

Hi, Does MoSync have the solution for supporting developers define the background service for their applications, like WM and SB, native developers can running background process to receive events like sms, network polling, etc. Aslo Android native developer can define Services to be running in background. By this function, the application can do more interesting thing.

So does MoSync support background service API? or do you have the future plan?

Thanks

These APIs are planned for a future version of MoSync.

A MoSync application can run in the background, but it cannot yet hide itself from the task manager, like a native service.

What a excellent future MoSync has! We are very expecting to build applications on MoSync. Laughing out loud

Could I take a look at your future plans for MoSync from somewhere? I am very interested! This is also helpful for us to make our product plan by building it on MoSync.

Thanks!

Hi Aplomb!

Really nice that you believe in MoSync, it's comments like that makes us glad and work harder! Smile

We are currently working on submitting information to the website so asap we will publish an up to date road map for MoSync. I can say directly that background services is not currently being developed so you could not expect them until summer as it looks now, but we are trying to be Agile so things can change! Smile
Just check the main site for all kind of information, once something is published there we work hard to keep it up to date!

If there is no way to run application as native service, may be there is some possibility to do an "Autostart" for the application ?
Like "Fring" - when the settings is set to Autostart, the frings starts at mobile phones' startup.

Hi

Is there currently a way to run an application automatically? And with no GUI?
