Remote Debugger Anomalies

[J. Landman Gay]

I asked this before and the fix is to quit the app, if I remember right. 
The problem on Android is that apps never really quit, they remain in the 
background until the OS needs the RAM. When the OS wipes the app, we don't 
receive any messages so the debugger won't know when the socket closes. The 
same thing happens when the user hits the Home or Recent buttons to leave 
the app, which also does not notify us. We need messages for these events. 
Android does send the app a notification but LC hasn't implemented it.

The result is that LC Android apps usually never know what's going on. It 
interferes with the ability to save the app state as well.

You might try adding a Quit button to see if that works. The quit command 
was updated a bit recently so that might work, even if you just use it 
temporarily for debugging.
