If all of your components (activities, services, etc.) are destroyed, your process will be recycled for use with another application at some point in the future. Just make sure you have stopped any of your services that you started, and leave the process alone, please. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.6 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
