Thanks RicharDC This explains a lot. Why the MyTracks is always there using up my battery, and more to the point why my application that uses a Camera fails sometimes. I think I'm sure I want to go right back to OFF when the user presses Home or Back. Do regular users understand this or am I lacking some gene required to operate a cell-phone.
The example of moving from email to Gallery etc is interesting. My thrust is to keep the app predictable. Starting from the same place is predictable. Snap a picture, send it in, stop. Snap a picture, fiddle with the settings, send in the picture, do it again, stop. It seems to me I have to end in a stop except where the sequence is interrupted by a phone call, and that works fine already. I think what I'd like is to intercept the Home button and finish() my whole task. I'll look into this in the morning.
