Yes, the alternative to starting and stopping the app is to run it with the timer, as you suggested. I am just trying to decide on the better way of handling it. The advantage of starting and stopping the app is than I don't have to worry that application stopped working. With the app and timer there is a possiblity that the app will crash.
Thank you.
