Not really. If you fork a thread from an Activity, and you do not stop the thread, that thread will keep rolling along. However, if there are no live components (e.g., no activities or services started), Android may terminate the process in the not-too-distant future, and that will nuke the thread at that point. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.6 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
