This is the final call that the activity will receive. It could be called either because the activity is finishing (someone called finish()<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#finish()> on it), or because the system is temporarily destroying this instance of the activity to save space. You can distinguish between these two scenarios with the isFinishing()<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#isFinishing()> method." http://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities.html#Lifecycle
This passage doesn't reveal that 'isFinishing()' is available during 'onPause()', so it's good to have that Javadoc reference that RichardC shared. -- Lew -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
