1.) Any code examples of multi-page app - how to clear old page?
Yes, lots:

etc
2.) How do I have a “background thread” that starts up when the
device starts up and calls a remote web server every 10 mins
and then asks for the user to put in password and
"passes" that back to thread ?
You can’t do this. What is the use case you have in mind?
3.) Does Corona need PhoneGap, or does it compile to bytecode ?
um, neither. I’m especially confused why you think Corona needs PhoneGap. Where do you see any reference to PhoneGap in Corona’s documentation?
How does one prepare for market apk ?
hm perhaps I’m misunderstanding your question, because I don’t see how this is related to the previous questions in Point 3. It sounds like you are asking how to prepare an Android app for the Android marketplace, is that what you’re asking?
4.) What do you get when you pay that you did not get by downloading ?
Mostly the ability to distribute your app to others (vs. only developing on your own device.) There are a few other differences (access to daily builds comes to mind) but that’s the biggie. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 7167 reply_id: 25198[/import]
