I would like to simplify a question I have in a previous post. What is supposed to happen in the following case.
1. Simple application with Activity A1 (MAIN/LAUNCHER) activity, and Activity A2 (gotten to by button on Activity A1 screen). 2. User launches the application from icon in the LAUNCHER, navigates into Activity A2 from button on A1. 3. User hits HOME button. 4. User re-launches application from icon in LAUNCHER. 5. Is the app supposed to resume the application (hence task) at Activity A1 (root), or Activity A2 (where it left off when user hit home)? - If the answer is "resume at A2", I can prove this is not happening on API 8, 9, or 10 by submitting a very simple sample app which does exactly as I describe above. No special manifest tags, no special anything. The app is resuming at A1. Worse than that, the Activity stack doesn't simply have A1 on it. It has: A1-->A2-->A1, as the LAUNCHER seems to have put another copy of the root task on the history. Re-entering the app, you see A1 again, thinking you're back at root, but if you hit back-button, you go back to A2, then back again to A1, and finally back one more time exits the app. - If the answer is "resume at A1", which it is currently doing in my sample app, this is not the behavior I would expect from reading the Task & Back Stack documentation on the developer site. The doc refer to the case where the user "switches" back to the previous Task and resumes what they are doing. When the documentation says "switch", does it refer to use the Task Switcher (LONG-press on HOME)? Because when I hit HOME, and then long-press HOME to bring up task switcher, I do indeed return back to the application (task) where I left off. But if I re-launch with the LAUNCHER icon, I resume at the root A1. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
