You can prove this to yourself by looking at the code. Here is the implementation of setIntent(): http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/app/Activity.java;h=f25c4c385e4f510bec426fbef801243e4c149f69;hb=HEAD#l714 Very simple. If you look through that code (and ActivityThread.java), you will see that the current value in mIntent is never pulled out to remember for the next instance. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
