AppDelegate deconstructor is not called on Android

[rynkowsg]

I used at AppDelegate's deconstructor a log, and it was not printed.
I was looking and I found that AppDelegate object is created on the heap and probably it is not released.
Please look on the Android's main.cpp:

void cocos_android_app_init (JNIEnv* env) {
    LOGD("cocos_android_app_init");
    AppDelegate *pAppDelegate = new AppDelegate();
}

Does it should be like this?

@rynkowsg , all it's totally true.
It's an cocos2d-x design issue, and it's very hard to fix it. Jni and Java design must be changed to fix this issue.
Currently there is no place in java code, where Application could be safely finalized.

@FrankStain
Thanks for the clarification.

@FrankStain,
I reopened the issue because I prepared a solution for it:
#16333
cocos2d-x/plugin-x#174

In my organisation I applied this fix couple months ago and it works perfectly.

@rynkowsg ,
Wow, nice solution!

Frankly, i had never thought in such direction. Also JNI_OnUnload may be used for such purposes.
And, yep, i can confirm, this solution is safe. AppDelegate will be created only one time per library load and removed just before unloading of library (and after invocation of JNI_OnUnload).

My changes have been merged. I'm going to close the issue.
