How: by not terminating the process. When: always, until the device is low on RAM. The algorithm for determining which processes to terminate first is based on the process priority, as outlined here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/processes-and-threads.html#Lifecycle > Mainly is there anything my app can do to tell the system to never > cache my process? No. Moreover, you should not need this, as a well-written app neither knows nor cares when its process comes and goes. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
