If the appropriate state is saved during onPause(), why wouldn't the
rest of the application work when an activity is shut down.
And speaking of state, I don't think you want to be using
setContentView() to change views, even within a single application.
Changing content views for your application will mean the built-in
state management will fail. Consider if the users receives a phone
call, switches task via notification, or hits the home button. If
your activity is closed due to memory constraints, its last saved
state may not match the view when your application restarts. Your
application will appear broken to a user, loosing state if they
multitask.
If you still insist on using a single activity, either add all UIs to
a single switchable view, or be prepared to write your own state
management code.

This should not be happening. What development environment are you
using?
If you're using Eclipse, the resource update should almost been
instantaneous. If you're using Ant, I can't imagine why the "out of
sync" message would appear, as the build start a new ant process that
should check everything from scratch.
I suggest starting a new thread, detailing the "Resource is out of
sync" problem to try to get to the bottom of it.
