Re: [android-developers] Do static variables of an ApplicationContext subclass left untouched when the process is killed?
Thanks for the prompt reply Mark. If a Service is not running in the same process as the ApplicationContext, then the system will not try hard to keep the main process running (ApplicationContext) under low memory? Does the Service's onDestroy get called prior to the ApplicationContext's onTerminate() method?

Each process has its own Application object. Unless you have really really really good reasons for it, do not run your service in a separate process, please. There is no ApplicationContext class in Android. Does the Service's onDestroy get called prior to the ApplicationContext's onTerminate() method? If something stops the service, yes. If Android kills the process, no. Having services linger in memory for no good reason is a quick path to one-star ratings on the Market, so hopefully you are promptly shutting down your services. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in London: http://skillsmatter.com/go/os-mobile-server -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
