I doubt that this will work, as I doubt that the myGIApp finalizer will ever be
invoked. The Application instance is a singleton that is alive for as long as
the process lives, and when Android exits the process Android doesn't give the
GC a chance to run (why should it?), and even if it did give the Dalvik GC a
chance to run it's highly unlikely that Mono's GC would get a chance to run,
and if Mono's GC doesn't run (AND find that Dalvik is no longer referencing the
Java-side Application instance!), then Mono's GC won't execute the finalizer.
In short, I think it's a safe bet that the Application finalizer will never
run, period.
Finally, as a point of style, you should never provide a finalizer for
Java.Lang.Object subclasses. You should instead override
Java.Lang.Object.Dispose(bool):
