I would think this is a good thing, at least from the user's standpoint. > Is there any way to get around this? Around what? Your activity is going to be stopped, because it is losing the foreground. That will be true if a call comes in, or the user presses HOME, or the user presses BACK, or the user slides down the notification drawer, or... > I tried using onCreate and > onDestroy, but I want to restore the original volume setting as soon > as the program is closed, which onDestroy doesn't seem to do. While this should work, I seriously question whether it is the right thing by users. What you are saying is that you want total control over their ringer volume for an indeterminate period of time. After all, if they press HOME, they may not come back to your activity for *weeks*, yet it might hang out in memory that long, if the user has a device with a lot of RAM and doesn't use a lot of apps. What gives you the right to say their phone shouldn't ring for weeks? -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Beginning Android 2_ from Apress Now Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
