*> "That is definitely a puzzling behaviour, I suspect the fact you have no content view is probably the cause."*
I tried giving it a LinearLayout but the result was the same. *> "Is there any reason why you need the second activity? "* I'm doing this as a way to have both free and paid (or rather, donate) versions of the same app using the same code-base. My second activity returns an MD5 hash of a secret key. When the first activity gets the result back it checks it to see if it should run in free mode or paid (donate) mode. I got the idea from the Documents to Go app. Of course, I have no idea how they accomplished this feat... I'm just trying to get the same results. If there is a better way to do something like this I would be willing to try that. *> "Activities are supposed to be used to display a new screen, processing data in the background is usually performed in an ASyncTask or similar runnable class."* While this is probably true in most cases, my activity uses the NoDisplay theme, which, according to the docs is for Activities that don't display a UI because they finish themselves before being resumed. This is exactly what my second activity does. As an aside, I have also tried this without having that theme and the results are the same.
