How to terminate an application ?

GregBUG

I'm sorry for my continuous questions,
but I can not find a clean way to terminate an application...

I looked in the documentation and reference manual but nothing ...
I hope that I haven't missed this one too!

There is no way to terminate the application.

- For iOS, there is no concept of terminating an app programmatically. There is a section "Don't Quit Programmatically" here: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/UEBestPractices/UEBestPractices.html

- For Android, back button terminates the application but currently you cannot control it.

- Also you shouldn't use os.exit() http://pgl.yoyo.org/luai/i/os.exit to terminate the app

What happens when Gideros has no eventlisteners to run and all objects a removed? Does Gideros stop then?

Gideros continues to run, dispatches events but you cannot catch any of them
