Hi all,
I just want to remind everybody that although the "Don't keep
activities" option has caused us much frustration, it really is a GOOD
option. All of us should try to run with it turned on occasionally and
fix any bugs that are uncovered as a result.
The reason for this is that "Don't keep activities" forces Android to
destroy activities when you leave them, which is something that will
happen even if you don't set the option. The only difference is that it
happens every time instead of sporadically. For us this is a huge
advantage because it turns intermittent problems into consistently
reproducible ones, and saves us more headache in the long run with
trying to track down other intermittent issues that are caused by
Android closing background activities.
So, please try to run with it on once in a while and make sure there are
no serious issues. I'm glad that many of our QA people run with it
enabled because it definitely catches problems. And yes, the experience
of running with it on is still painful because your tabs often have to
reload, but that just means we should be faster at reloading tabs!
Thanks,
kats
