Oh bother. It seems the Qt developers consider this a feature.
In their mind an app is either an activity (has a UI, talks to you), or a
service (is allowed to run in the background), but never both. So they
actively prevent an activity from doing any work once the app is no longer
in the foreground.
I cannot even tell you on how many level this annoys me.
But that means that many of the changes that I just(!) pushed may need to
be rethought - at least on Android.
/D
