RE: [android-developers] Re: Exit Application

But when I press the HOME to close the application and relaunch it, it is in
the same state (screen status, components status, etc) when I was leaving
it. But the BACK button really seems to close it, because the next launch
states so! Any reason behind this?

Regards,
Armond
