Android kills the syncthing process when activity is closed

See original GitHub issue

Android kills libsyncthing.so everytime when the activity is closed. It gets automatically restarted by SyncthingService, but syncing gets interrupted.

I ActivityManager: Killing 9422:com.nutomic.syncthingandroid.debug/u0a128 (adj 16): remove task
I libprocessgroup: Killing pid 9500 in uid 10128 as part of process group 9422

Ah it only seems to happen if you swipe the app away in recents (I tried to use the back button).

@Unrud Would be cool if you can make a PR for this 😉

Android/app version you’re using.

Android 6.0.1. It happens with the version from f-droid and with a version that I compiled form this repository.

Even with background active?

Yes

Even with experimental foreground service active?

That’s how Android works and nothing we can change about that.

You can use the android:process attribute in the service definition. The service will run in a different process and should not be restarted when the activity is closed. But you have to use AIDL to communicate with the service.
