It is guaranteed that you will not be called. The Application object, at best, is the same as static data members: use them for a cache, nothing more. -- 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 4.5 Available! -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
