My point still stands... You can't control the Activity Lifecycle. I think it is strange as well. But that doesn't mean I have any control over it. If you feel it is a bug then feel free to report it. *> 1. Running the app then bringing it to the background by pressing home and then pushing the lock button does not destroy my activity.* * * Right, because it is no longer in the foreground. You home app is. I would be willing to bet that the same thing that happens to your app when it is in the foreground is happening to the home app (or any other app that happens to be in the foreground at the time the screen lock button is pushed. I haven't checked to see if this happens with my apps, but now I'm curious and will look into it. Unless you are doing something strange with your app (like maybe calling finish() in onPause() or something like that), the behavior should be the save across the board for all apps... *> Doing (2) with Angry Birds does not destroy the activity, it leaves it as it is. Because when you go back to the game it runs instantly, no texture loading or anything.* * * That's interesting... on my phone when I press the screen lock button with Angry Birds running and unlock my phone Angry Birds is no longer running. *> The music is not running in a service.* * * You don't know that.
