Your thread will likely be killed in a bad way in onDestroy(). You should therefore kill it yourself, for example in either onStop() or onDestroy().
Apps are killed, for the most part and from what I can tell when the back button is used to exit the app, or the Home button is used and the system needs the memory. The back button seems to cause the app to call onDestroy() while the home button seems to cause the app to call onStop() and stay in memory. This is only what seems to happen most of the time, and isn't necessarily what will happen in a given instance. -----Original Message----- From: g1bb [mailto:corymgibb...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 8:16 AM To: Android Developers Subject: [android-developers] When does my thread die? Hello, I've created an app that functions as a countdown timer via a thread, a wakelock, and a handler back to my activity. My question is, what will cause my thread to die, or app to not be running in memory anymore? I've had this happen once, and can't seem to recreate it again.
