How to create a background running app with Gideros?

Hi guys, I know Gideros is designed for game making, but could you please tell me is there a way to run an application in background mode?

I want to create a cool reminder that will show a dialog (or alert) at specific time, so it should be run in background mode.

Thank you very much

I don't think this is currently supported, or indeed possible.

Also, isn't that what Alarms and your Calendar are supposed to do??

@thanhquan, I am not sure how you can manage that with the Android (as of this time) however with the iOS, you can use the EKEvents and as @scouser mentioned create events that then create popup reminders.

I am not sure of your idea, but it would be cool to instead of seeing the standard reminder, have a custom screen popup as a reminder.

My reminder is for another purpose rather than standard reminder

You could use a plugin to hook into the standard local notification event, however then the OS displays the message for you and then your app get's called (with some command line specifics) once the alert has been dismissed.

It wouldn't be possible to replace the OS notification (and if it was Apple would probably reject your app because of it).
