Forcing an android app to quit when the 'home' button is clicked?

[Ralph DiMola]

That will work if the user hits the back key but if they hit the home button
not so much. I leave my app open but I think remember some thread that
mentioned the engine sends a message when the app is de-focused. Can't
remember what it was. I believe it was suspendStack and resumeStack

Terry,

Reading the docs, I'd say the following should be possible:

on backKey
   quit
end backKey

Kind regards,

actually want this to occur. Anyway, I'm covered on iOS but how do I make
the app quit when the user leaves it on an android device, or is this not
possible?
