The only time your process will be terminated forcefully, AFAIK, is if the device needs RAM in a hurry to handle a phone call or similar system events, or possibly if the user is powering down the phone. Moreover, bear in mind: -- SQLite is transactional, and so should survive process termination mid-transaction...assuming you are using your transactions properly -- There are other scenarios in which things can terminate mid-transaction (e.g., battery dies) -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
