Android apps in Sailfish continue running.
They don't even realize that they are being minimized.

It annoys me because Jolla can set them to not stop, or atleast give us the choice. Or atleast Alien Dalvik should give us the choice

Exactly!
Given the fact that they try to bridge the app gap by being able to load android apps, where is the point of buying a jolla device if its multitasking (competitive) advantage is not being exploited with the apps which are supposed to convince sceptics of making the jump to Sailfish?
I can imagine this has to do with processing ressources and battery life but as m4r0v3r mentioned, we should be left to choose on a global or app specific level
Speaking of the battery, Im surprised that given the size of the tablet which is slightly bigger than the ipad mini 3, the battery is 33% smaller.

So far all apps where I tested looked like they go on running when minimized / pushed to the background.
Of course NOT when closed.

Some android apps continue running and most don't when minimized. Its how they are written. I think the apps that continue running use what is called a "service". I just tried a couple of android apps on my jolla phone that play a video and they stopped when I tried to minimize them . I wouldn't even call it a pause because you had to restart the video when you brought the app to foreground. Then I tried an Android music app called Poweramp and it continued to play music when I reduced the app. So it is really up to the developer to give it multitasking capability. At least in general...

I guess you've never seen a DOS box in Windows or Linux.

BB10 can't multitask android apps as the second you leave the app, it is paused. This is a feature that I value greatly because it really helps make use of the best of both worlds.
