onDestroy() is not called on Android when cloased to make space

[Wilin]

When an application (in the background) is closed because Android
needs to make space for other (foreground) application normally
onDestroy is called wich in phonegap triggers the unload event. In my
phonegap programs (PG 1.4.1) The unload event is not called and after
adding

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
Log.i("BikeFlux", "onDestroy, before super");
super.onDestroy();
}

to my activity showed that onDestroy is only called when the
application is properly closed and not when it is closed when it is in
the background.

(info about Android lifecycle)

Is this because an error in Phonegap (DroidGap) or is it something
else?

Anyone with experience with this, or with the unloaded event?

Thanks

If you look at the Android lifecycle chart you referenced, onDestroy may not be called if your app is killed.  If you need to persist data/state you should use onPause (which is the pause event).
