Normally, when the user presses BACK, the previous activity is still in memory. It was stopped, not destroyed.

Calling startActivity() usually creates a new instance of the activity, which by definition has no saved state. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
