hi, can anybody help with the query.
Basically the query is, if I make allowTaskReparenting to true, will there be a single instance of the activity that gets re-parented from one task to another ? >From developer.android.com, i gather, ======================== If an activity has its allowTaskReparenting attribute set to "true", it can move from the task it starts in to the task it has an affinity for when that task comes to the fore. For example, suppose that an activity that reports weather conditions in selected cities is defined as part of a travel application. It has the same affinity as other activities in the same application (the default affinity) and it allows reparenting. One of your activities starts the weather reporter, so it initially belongs to the same task as your activity. However, when the travel application next comes forward, the weather reporter will be reassigned to and displayed with that task. ======================== So if my activity starts Weather reporter activity and after some time the travel application comes to the fore the weather reporter will get re-parented to travel application. So, there should be only one activity created. But what if my activity comes to the front and calls for weather reporter ? will the weather reported that had got reparented to travel application, get reparented back to my task ?
