In this case, onDestroy for all this cleanup. onDestroy will be called when the user leaves the app by pressing back. It will NOT be called when they press Home, but that's expected because they're not * leaving* the app, they're merely sending it to the background, so your app should not completely shut down and should be ready to quickly resume should the user switch back to it. Eventually, if the user never returns to your app, it will be killed off by the system and whether or not onDestroy gets called all your stuff will be "closed" anyway. However, if this is for a game, then I believe those are usually implemented with a single Activity to allow you to better control resources like graphics and music. Then you don't have the music playing issue you describe since you just handle onPause / onStop to pause the music. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
