It is much like regular java: 1. It really depends on the hardware, but you have to assume that your app's process can get killed. And if you have background tasks/threads running, they'll be killed automatically with the process (just like in Java).
2. Yes, just like Java. If java object become non-reachable, the objects will be eligible for garbage collection. 3./4. If you haven't set your android:process attribute in you app's components, all your app's components will run in one process. I haven't seen anything to the contrary with activities/services/etc. that are private to your own app. However, just like java, memory is not shared between processes. Your static variable will hang around, but just for their own process. Each process instantiates its own JVM (DalvikVM) and static variables are not shared between processes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
