I thought you weren't really supposed to "quit" an app? I know the Android system will kill an app when necessary to reclaim resources. I have seen apps, including google maps that allow you to exit. In the case of google maps, if you're using the navigation, and don't exit, it keeps on talking and drains your battery pretty fast. I've learned from experience to exit that app! So I guess I can see a time when it should exit. But I thought by listening to the activity events of pause/resume, and so forth you can use those to exit the app gracefully?
For that matter, since games use threads, don't they have to stop the threads, save state, and such when a user presses home to exit out of it? Lastly, I thought we're never to try to block the home button? I didn't even know that was possible.
