Run application in background on Android

[cristeab]

Hi

I have developed a softphone with Qt 5.9.2 and PJSIP library on Android and I need to add the ability to receive calls while the application is in background. I have read that the Qt main thread does not run when the application is in background. So my question is how I can still receive calls when the application is put in background so that the application is automatically put in foreground when a call is received.

thanks
Bogdan

Typically the responses to Qt with android are a bit slow.

Therefore,it might be good to raise or check for answer for the question also on https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/android-qt

If you find an answer, please post it or a link also here. This will help others.

You need to create a service. Search and you'll find many discussions about.

@mvuori I have arrived at the same conclusion. The problem is that from the service I need to start the application, not to just show a notification. The examples I have found until now show notifications only
