IMHO this is a poor design. If the user gets a text message and returns to your app within 5 seconds, you will force them to log in again. This will cause users to attack you with cricket bats. Or possibly just bats, or just crickets. Instead, implement a credential timeout mechanism: -- when they log in, note the time -- in onResume() of each activity, check the time since last login, and if the time gap is too long, then redirect to the login activity -- if you want the user to not have to log in while they are in your application, just update that time when you check it in onResume() -- let the user choose the timeout period via a SharedPreference -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 3.5 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
