[android-developers] Re: Application Recycling

In ICS there is a Developer Option called "Don't keep activities".  If you check it, activities and their fragments will go through a complete cycle of create/destroy, which will test their ability to save and restore their instance states.  This is the same as if your app will killed and restored at each activity transition.

Older devices and emulators might have a Spare Parts app that can toggle a similar setting.

I'm trying to test my application's ability to be restored after my
phone reclaims it for memory. I'm unable to find a consistent way to
reproduce this behavior.

My first questions is:
What is the official term for this? "Application Recycling" doesn't
seem to help me find any information online.

Once I know what it's called I should be able to find some info, and
even search these forums accurately and find an answer; but if anyone
is willing to point me in the right direction I would appreciate that
as well!

Thanks,
Trey
