[Android-development] Detecting app moving to background

Hi,

I'd like to detect when the app is being moved to background and save 
data at that point.

I would have thought that

QWindow::hideEvent(QHideEvent *)

would be called at some point when the user presses the home key, but 
apparently not.

Is this a bug, or is some other way preferable?

I'm testing on Android 4.2.2 with Archos Titanium 40.

This is with self compled stable from a week or two ago, so pre 5.3 
snapshot.  I just pulled the latest and am compiling that to see if 
anything has changed.

Thanks,

Harri
