Yes that is what i want to achieve and i know it is acting in a non-
standard way. Please correct me if you think i am going about this in
the wrong way, but my understanding is that using the back button
destroys the focused activity and hence does not hit
onSaveInstanceState(...). The users of this application will be
expecting it to return to its saved instance state the next time they
start the activity, unless they use the apps menu to stop the app
running.
Does this mean there is a Home activity then? Do you have any info
about obtaining the Context for this activity so i can launch it?
