Is your app running in the foreground during all of this? I have threads running continuously without any issues.
If your app is NOT running in the foreground then it may well be suspended by the platform. As a "general" rule the onPause method of an Activity should also gracefully pause your threads. If you need to be running continuously in the background then you probably need a Service: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html On Sep 23, 12:34 am, kypriakos <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Are there any limits on the number of threads or any constraints > on how the emulator (under Eclipse) schedules the application > threads?
