Please leave the lifecycle documentation. Processes are just transient entities used to hold running processes; killing a process is not the same as "stopping" an application. You are treating this like a Unix system, when it is not.
Resetting an application back to its initial state is done with the "clear data" button in manage applications, which asks the package manager to erase *all* of its data, and does a full force stop which in addition to killing processes also stops services and tells all system services to release any state they have about the app (such as configured app widgets etc). You should use the same API that manage apps does for this, which is not part of the SDK, but you clearly aren't trying to do something in the SDK. Which brings up -- your question should be posted to a group like android-porting since you are doing platform-level stuff. Posting questions like this here is not going to get a good response because when people see questions on this group they are thinking in terms of the SDK, which is not at all relevant for you. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com 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. All such questions should be posted on public forums, where I and others can see and answer them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
