In my application, I have specified a second activity that can be
launched form the launcher, using this manifest entry:
<activity
android:name=".Lists.ListOfListsActivity"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_lists"
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:label="@string/lists_activity_name" >
<!-- An Intent filter so that the Lists activity shows in
the Launcher -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Let's say I have the app open at the "main" activity then press the
home key. It will still be running, but in background.
Later the user selects the launched icon I have for
"ListsOfListsActivity" from the homescreen.
This will bring the application to the foreground, but NOT at the
"ListOfListsActivity", but at whatever it's current activity was when
it went to the background (e.g. at the "main"activity).
This is confusing, as the user selected the "ListOfListsActivity" but
is shown another one. Then they have to navigate to it.
I had this working better, by specifying launchMode = "singleTask" for
the "ListOfListsActivity", but in that mode it cannot be launched from
another activity for a result (startActivityForResult() ), and I need
to be able to do that to pick a list...
Question:
- how to specify an intent-filter that will force an activity to the
foreground and be the selected activity, no matter what the current
status of the application and it's current activity??
