Hi Dianne, Thanks for your response.
I'm doing all kinds of things :) E.g. I think I figured out a way to have an app that has a 'home' screen from which the user launches other activities, where (s)he can go back to the home screen. It took me a while to figure out to use the FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flag when launching the home-screen (actually going *back* to the home-screen). It would have been nice to have some document(s) with uses-cases or work-flows that would explain in which situation what manifest- settings/intent-flags to use. I still am not sure when to use singleTask, for example. And the purpose of allowTaskReparenting, for example (it is explained, but i cant' quite understand what its purpose is). Right now, all the activities I launch use the singleTop and it works well, in conjunction with onNewIntent. There is a lot of info in the dev-guides and reference-guides and on the forums. But it is hard to put it all together and make real-world sense of it... all these possible combinations of settings and configs.
