I have a widget that displays contacts and/or phone numbers, based on things like Calendar events. When the user touches a tile, my widget gets a broadcast (so that I can do some logging) and then builds an Intent to start an Activity that launches the Contacts/Dialer app, using Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flags.. For contacts, I use Intent.ACTION_VIEW and a ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI URI; for phone numbers, I use Intent.ACTION_DIAL and a "tel:" URI.
Works just fine *except* that if I tap a contact, then Home, then a phone number, then Back, I go to the contact, not to the Home screen. And if I tap a phone number, then Home, then a contact, then Back, I go to the phone number, not to the Home screen. (If I tap a contact, then Home, then a contact, then Back, I do go to the Home screen; ditto if I tap a phone number, then Home, then a phone number, then Back. I get the same behavior when I use Intent.ACTION_VIEW for both contacts and hone numbers: The key *seems* to be the different MIME types ....) And, yes, this is supposed to run on phones, so Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK is not an option. Has anyone run into this before? Or have any suggestions? (Since some phones *do* have separate Contacts and Dialer apps, I'd prefer to stick to generic Intent/Activity manipulation, and to avoid anything based on reading the source of the Contacts app.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
