Ok guys, I did ask before on how to create a way to run a code always in my app. It’s similar to how say iMobeter or something like that check your hp, if it’s less than max it’ll add to it every 5 mins.

Some people told me to use service which sounded good. Problem is, I need a service that is always running in the background. Plus, I could not create a service that can access the database. I cant use the cursor there as in it does not support the method.

I would appreciate pointing me to a good example or a better way to do it.

    That is not possible. Users can stop your service whenever they want, and Android will stop your service if it lives too long.

    Plus, I could not create a service that can access the database. I cant use the cursor there as in it does not support the method.

    Yes, it does. Use SQLiteOpenHelper, the same way you would with an activity, content provider, etc.
