Is it fine if I see my application from Settings App in the emulator has Force Close option enabled even tough I have come out of my application?

I have written a simple database program in android. It runs fine, there is no force close error. But I checked from my application from Settings App I see the Force Close option enabled, which implies that my application is still running in the background, even though I have completely came out from my application to the home screen by pressing back key. And moreover I am not using any services, alarm or broadcast things.

Can some one please guide me what may be the probable reason?. Or is it okay? Or will it cra开发者_开发问答sh if I put it on device?

Your application is alive until Android OS needs more memory and destroys it. What I have understood does Android start destroying activities before killing the whole application. This means that your application can be alive even if you have finished your activities.

Do not worry about this; Android OS is handling this extremely well.
