Shutting down an Android App - Solution Explained

Post by DR White » Mon Oct 07, 2013 1:36 am

I am testing with the simple "Hello World" stack and everything works great, the first time that I open it after installation.
But every time after the first time it was opened, when I go to close it with the android "Back" button, it locks up.

I have searched several post and still do not see a solution that works.

Please HELP,

David

Yup, I'm getting the same thing with the Hello World stack I was testing for you.
Also get a message from Android after a while saying "Activity...is not responding" with "Force Close" and "Wait".
