OK. Sorry to ask again, but I am still confused. Yes, Android may kill processes, that's a given. But may Android kill an Activity and leave the service running? Here is the ambiguity: >From http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html in the section "Application Components" -> "Shutting down components" "Components might also be shut down by the system when they are no longer being used or when Android must reclaim memory for more active components. A later section, Component Lifecycles, discusses this possibility and its ramifications in more detail." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
