[Android-development] Starting a service

[Jason H]

I think that is specific to creating a service only.

You can of course use a regular android service (programed as a normal Android app) with Qt. Remember Qt just provides an Application and Activity. You can keep bolting on. However there are issues, like the OS can start your service without the activity loop running. Which means that not me able to interact like how you want. Synchronizing though your application's database won't work because the multithreaded writes will corrupt the database.
