Perhaps you yourself are getting in the way when you offer offense in this way? I for one am glad that Dianne does not work at the sort of company you describe, and there's really no way to take your remarks addressing her job security but as a personal attack. I'm not sure why you're doing this; it seems out of character for you.
I am probably one of the few people on the list who'd find your SylloGizmo references interesting, and I did not find it relevant. Hence, in effect, commercial SPAM. (I know that was not your intent). If you found Dianne's answer inadequate, just answer it yourself. Like this: No, it's not OK to call System.exit(). I further argue that any discussion of hypothetical exceptions are not what the OP needs. If you're asking the question, you don't have nearly enough understanding of the issues to even evaluate them. For example, whether System.exit() cleans up the activity stack (it doesn't, as has been pointed out) is not something someone who is asking this question understands at this point. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
