Keep application alive after exiting.

[Serifaz]

Hello I have developed an application to remind a user to take pills based on when they take their first dose of the day. 

The problem I am facing is when I close out the application to do something else it does not keep the session going of the application.

I want to make it so I can use other apps and keep the current app session going.

Unfortunately, that isn't possible. We don't have the ability to run apps in the background.

I see other apps that have done it though. like they save the settings you put in them and stay on pages that you are on. apps like Deezer stay open and you can go to other apps while it runs.

For instance say I want to make an alarm app. how can I make an alarm app if I have to stay on the app for it to work.

I think you're confusing two different things. An app can save its current state (using fs API), and reload it when it restarts. But no third-party app can keep running after it's been closed.

Deezer (and a couple of others) are special cases. They use capabilities that are not publicly exposed in the API.

ok thank you for clarifying. sorry for my misunderstanding. Is this a feature to be implemented any time soon?
