Running native network based application in background

[mageswaran1989]

Hi Folks
I am currently working on integrating skype into set top box.
Need some help from you guys...

The problem is how to integrate and start the skypekit runtime engine (native arm cross compiled static linked) in background from android application and keep it alive for server communication.

I used runtime.exec() but the "skypekit runtime binary" always closes as soon as its starts with return code '0'.
Also tried to run it as a service but failed!!!

But i am able to start it manually and linked it with my customized skype app and able to login.

I came to know Android will auto kill process that it doesnt need!!!

Please help me in this as this is my first assignment in my company.
