The problem isn't our app, it's the state of Android introductory
orientation. If users don't know how to properly end apps, then they can
run into all kinds of problems. Case in point are task killers. Perhaps the
reason these are so popular is that their users just don't know what the
back key is for.

I always took it that Google assumed most of the Android users would be
young and explore and would learn the devices that way. That's a
paradigm I saw with younger users but I have older users who didn't
understand that the Menu button also worked for apps because they would
ask about settings that were already there. Even with the menu icon
appearing with the app you sometimes need to explain that to them.
Then there is definitely poor documentation for the API though they've
been trying to improve it. I'm not surprised after being told recently
by someone who worked their how small the Android group actually is.
And then there are lots of bugs in the API and more will get added as
they create new OS upgrades. You can never find all the bugs in an OS
release. I spent hours trying to figure out a bug that showed up only
with Monkey and finally gave up figuring it was Monkey. With recent
update those bugs no longer occurred with Money test and not only that
were never reported by users anyway.
