What method is being called when I close an app
activity-finish, android, android-activity
Solution
onPause() is the only method that is called always. From onPause() state Android OS can kill this app for many reasons bypassing onStop and onDestroy. I don't think we can control this behavior of unexpected termination smoothly. Service can check for the state of the application periodically.
Problem
I read all about the activity lifecycle and it's methods. I still couldt find an answer: When I close my app, from the "open apps" menu (in galaxy4 it's a long press on the home button, in nexus5 it's the right button ...) what method is being called? if any? In other words, my activity is launching a service. I want to terminate the service if the app (activity) is being closed. (onDestory is not reliable at all as said many times here before) Thanks in advance!
