Exit option on Android 2.1
Geoffrey
Now, when I long press 'BACK' button, I briefly see the exit dialog
box.
I cannot confirm the exit.
Does it really quit the application ?

yes, the issue is related to the way Android of different versions
handles the hard keys differently (apparently from 2.0 onwards it
matters if it's a soft or a hard key). Here is the story from the
android developer blog:

As a developer it is very frustrating to have new versions break old
code, but that's essentially what happened with every new version of
Android, and I haven't had time yet to even try to understand all the
different ways in which I'm now supposed to check for something as
simple as a long-press on the back key.
When the app is terminated with the long press, it exits, within the
limits of Android, meaning, it may exit, or it may not ;)
Sorry,
Michael

I just looked at the doc and it's very confusing :S
Regarding this page it seems that the behaviour doesn't change if the
target version is < 5.
For now, I'm assuming the app is closed when I long press BACK :)
