\title Android Services
\brief Provides information about Android Services support in Qt.
Starting with Qt 5.7, you can create Android services using Qt. A service
is a component that runs in background, so, it has no user interface. It is
useful to perform long-term operations such as logging GPS, waiting for social
media notifications, and so on. A service will continue to run even if the
application that started it exits.
To create a service, do the following steps:
\list 1
\li Uncomment the service part of your \c AndroidManifest.xml.
\li Make sure the \c service tag contains an \c android:process=":some_name"
attribute. It is needed to force the \c service to run in a separate
process than the \c activity.
\li If you're using the same application (.so file) for activity and also
for service, you need to use \c android.app.arguments \c meta-data to
pass some arguments to your \c main function in order to know which one
is which.
\li To enable background running, uncomment \c android.app.background_running
\c meta-data and set it to true (\c android:value="true" ).
\endlist
Qt loads the \c .so file defined in \c android.app.lib_name \c meta-data,
and calls the \c main function with all the arguments set in
\c android.app.arguments \c meta-data.
See \l{http://developer.android.com/guide/components/services.html}{Android Services}
documentation for more information.
