They will also: - Remove any notifications you have posted. - Unregister any alarms you have scheduled. - Remove any location manager monitoring you have registered. - Revert to the default wallpaper if you are the current live wallpaper. - Revert to the default IME if you are the current IME. - Stop any sync that you have in progress. And most likely some other things I don't remember right now. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
