There is nothing wrong with your application. The SDK is broken and this is just a very annoying bug. What you want is the default behaviour which doesn't work because its BROKEN. The devs are too lazy to fix it. On Jan 23, 4:09 am, Josh Hoffman wrote: > I'm currently working with a two-activity

It seems you are not going to get a call to onNewIntent() because in ayanir's example Activity A (the activity launched by the home screen) is not on top of the task stack. Apparently the market application is sending an intent for action.MAIN, category.LAUNCHER. Maybe you would need some kind of

thanks jotobjects, I wanted to add few comments: 1.when I used the "singleTask" in launchMode, when I opened the app icon from the Home screen, it stated Activity A and not the last Activity. so this is not the solution. 2.from: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/guide/topics/manifest/activit

Hey guys, Funny I find this thread this morning.. I just posted to Mark Murphy's forum a similar question regarding multi-activity apps and how the life cycle is handled. My question was a little bit different, but similar to this. My main question was how do we handle the various life cycle metho

Yes it looks like we have got confused here about what happens when returning to the Home screen (perhaps your issue was the Eclipse "feature" mentioned in the thread?). In the interests of clearing up quite a bit of misinformation in this thread, this is the what actually happens: Re-launching t

Hm. The difference between task state and activity stack is not easy to grasp (for me). You always start a new activity-stack when you return to Home as I understand it. At any point you can switch to another task by long-pressing Home to get the recent task list. If Activity1 and Activity2 ar

Set android:launchMode="singleTop" on your first activity. You will then get an onNewIntent() when you are re-launched from home. There you can startActivity() for your second activity; if you want back from the second activity to skip the first, you can call finish() in the first after starting

Hi. I noticed something similar while developing for android...that is: when I start the app from eclipse (either "debug as", or "run as") launching Activity 1, then go to Activity 2, then press Home, and then restart the app, I see that Activity 1 is shown (while Activity 2 should be on top of th
