Well, I figured out that it happens if I do this:
- Hit the *back* button. - Hold the *home* button down. - Select the Activity from the list. I guess the physics thread just doesn't get killed? Can I assume it is still running? I guess it probably makes more sense to start it in onResume and kill it in onPause? Thanks.
