Hi, When creating SFOS applications which should run 24/7 (e.g. IMs) we would like to achieve similar behavior as the stock applications, e.g. the stock e-mail client: the sync (*) runs in the background, even though the application is closed. A window staying open just to make sure the sync goes on clutters the open app view and makes it more difficult to manage the open applications.
On a desktop DE one would simply minimize the application to tray. Alternatively, one could create a daemon which the client app would communicate with using UNIX sockets, but it greatly increases the complexity of the application and slows down the development. What's the easiest way to keep the sync process in the background without keeping the window open? Regards, Marcin (*) when speaking sync, I mean any kind of waiting for a remote event, no matter if it's done by idle TCP (which is good) or HTTP polling (which is not good) _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org
