It is a conceptual problem which you are trying to solve with controling an activity from another activity. The Android platform tries to simplify UI development in a way that it defined a life cycle for activities. If you try to control an activity from another activity you change the current implemented approach. Which would add also much more complexity. For example when would be a main activity allowed to close another activity?
I think you should be able to change the logic of your program without having the need to control another activity. -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
