Dianne, do you think this will be added to the API in the future? Saving state on phone shutdown could be important for some apps. -- Eric On Nov 20, 9:12 pm, Jon Colverson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Eek. That makes things a bit more difficult.

And at least with respect to the current hardware instance (G1) is any inability a hardware, firmware, or software limitation?

[android-developers] Re: Is there a hook to run code on device shutdown (power off)?
It's something not implemented in the software. Users seem to have a disturbing habit of just pulling the battery out as a way to turn off their phone, so I'm not sure how much I would want to rely on a clean shutdown. :} On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 7:52 AM, Dorn Hetzel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: And at least with respect to the current hardware instance (G1) is any inability a hardware, firmware, or software limitation?

If not actual shutdown, is it possible to detect presses of the red button that *might* result in a power down?
