I just tried it on an app I'm working on (Android 2.1), and onStop() was called at the point I pressed the HOME button.

I just tried it with this same scenario (Activity A -> Activity B -> HOME), and again, onStop() was called at the point I pressed HOME. > So am I doing something wrong or is it supposed to work in that way or > is it a bug? Well, there appears to be something afoot either with your app or with your environment. onStop(), at least as of Android 2.1, seems to behave as documented for fairly ordinary stuff. Mind you that my test code does not mess with android:launchMode or flags on activity starting or whatever, so if you are, that's something to experiment with. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Development Wiki: http://wiki.andmob.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
