They are loaded into RAM when an Intent triggers them to be loaded into RAM. Examples include clicking on an icon in the Launcher, responding to a system broadcast Intent (e.g., BOOT_COMPLETED), when another application starts one of their activities or remote services, etc. As little as possible is loaded into RAM at system startup. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
