[Android-development] Warm application start time

[Xavier Bigand]

I don't really understand, because if the process isn't killed Android
don't release anything that you have loaded. So normally when the OS put
the application back to the active state it should be really fast.

With our app we don't have a such issue.

Maybe you catch the back button in QML or C++ and you call the QApplication
quit method or something else that finally make your application exiting.

Try to launch your app with a debugger, you'll see in the console if the
process is killed when pressing the back button.
