hi there,
it may seem like a strange question. but i couldnt make it out the actual reason why?

I'm developing an application in which i implemented a systemlistener which starts when i set the application to Background ....as soon as i set the application to background my battery gets drained soon ....some one plz help me to fix my issue....

[irlennard]

Well, what events are you listening for? And what are you doing when you receive them? If you're doing a lot of processing then, sure, you battery will get drained. Maybe post your code?

well am listening mail from a particular contact and once i get i send an autoreply to particular contact through mail (background process)..everything works but the problem is my battery gets drained soon.....

do you just add a folderlistener and wait to be called? or do you do something else?

[sunnan]

just added a folder listener for getting mail and implemented another infinity loop for getting incoming sms and am trying to lock my keypad using systemlistener....

anything running in the background is going to drain your battery quickly. Especially if you have something like BBlight ruuning and have it set to have the light stay on during user activity. I get about 3/4 of a day out of my curve this is due to me forgetting to close stuff out or having stuff running in the back ground.

What about less frequently polling the folder?
