Anyone have any example code that shows how to run background threads (under iOS4 and Android), and also make them run on system startup?
Also - an example shows how to work with multiple threads in general? I only see Coroutines in the Lua documentation - which is cooperative and not preemptive. Does that mean you can’t do preemptive threads in Corona?

For the Multi-thread example - I am picturing an app that is running and in-use by the user, and has a background thread that gets and retrieves some data via HTTP without slowing down the user’s UI.

Under Lua and Corona, and that is your set of tools, you can only do cooperative threads atm. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 1493 reply_id: 4177[/import]
is there a way to create a background task that can be registered with the OS to launch on startup? [import]uid: 6396 topic_id: 1493 reply_id: 4183[/import]
