Edit: this applies to simulators only, but i would still like to know if there is a resolution.

However even though i do catch it later on,...
What's the best way to close resources in a BlackBerry application? I use the resources throughout the life of the application and would just like to register some listener to be called when the app is just about to quit. Is there a simple hook that's called before the app is closed? ...

The number of rows is dependent on...
