Force app suspension possible?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Is it possible to force application suspend with a code statement?

(Apparently, it’s a convention that pressing the physical “Back” button on an Android phone while on the game’s main menu should take the user out of the game and back to the Android menu system.)

Found a solution: native.requestExit()

I can’t get my Android app to resume where it left off, like my iOS app does.

UPDATE: If I leave the app with the Android Home button, then I can resume from I left off. But if I leave it with Android Back, I can’t.

If you don’t handle the Android back button then what happens? Is a system.applicationSuspend event fired, or does it call a native.requestExit?

What is the correct way to tell your app to suspend (and not exit) on Android?

I’ve just seen these pages which say the Android Back button is supposed to exit the app, while the Home button is meant to suspend it:

So the behaviour I was looking for is non-standard.
