Hello, My application has two activities i.e. A & B. Activity A has "singleinstance" launchmode set and activity B has "standard" launch mode set. Android manifest file is as follows:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; package="dummy.lifecycle" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"> <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/ app_name" > <activity android:name=".activity_lifecycle" android:label="@string/app_name" android:launchMode="singleInstance"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name=".another" android:launchMode="standard" ></activity> </application> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" /> </manifest> Activity A has a button, clicking button starts Activity B using below code: public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Intent intent = new Intent(activity_lifecycle.this,another.class); startActivityForResult(intent, 0); } Activity B has a button, clicking button starts Activity A using below code: public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Intent intent = new Intent(another.this,activity_lifecycle.class); startActivityForResult(intent, 0); } Click button in Activity A starts B. (oncreate of B is called) Click button in Activity B re-starts A. (because A has SINGLEINSTANCE launchmode) Click button in Activity A re-starts B. (oncreate of B is NOT CALLED) After 3rd step, since activity B is standard, a new instance should be created and not previous instance to be used. Kindly suggest why when second time activity B is started, a new instance of activity B is not created, when it is declared with launchmode "standard".
