Hi Romain Guy,
Ok so we never put an "exit app" interface for users - what happens in
this case:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
if (m_thread == null) {
m_thread = new Thread() {
public void run() {
while (m_run) {
Log.d("*", "hello...");
Thread.sleep(5000);
}
}
};
m_thread.start();
}
}
This app just creates a background thread which runs forever. When I
hit the back button etc, I can see that the thread is still alive even
though the Activity is no longer visible. If I start the app again, I
can see that m_thread is already initialized -
So in my case, I should listen for onDestroy() and terminate the
thread there?
Thank you
