I don't think so. More accurately, AFAIK, a force-stop does not reproduce what the OS does when it stops a service to free up RAM or due to old age. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
