  • @kcopp , it seem that there is a problem in android , why when I start activity and do nothing , and closing , it stores information and keep old used memories ??? – Ata May 23 '12 at 16:29

    You should handle that during the lifecycle methods (onPause(), onDestroy(), etc.) I don't mean this rudely, but most likely the problem is not with Android but with your app. Restarting the app on a timer may WORK, but it's not the appropriate solution. Think for example what happens if a user is interacting with the application at 3:00 AM? Try to find what information is being stored after closing the app, and then from there find out *why* it is being stored, and from there, correct it. – Kevin Coppock May 23 '12 at 16:48

You can use popular time based scheduler Cron found in unix/linux. by default it it is not active.need some hack inside. but i think you can use AlarmManager This is a system service. 

AlarmManager myAlarmManager = Context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE).

And if you need to stay alive after system reboot . Then you have to schedule he alarm after the device reboots.And need to have the RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission in your AndroidManifest.xml
