I am using ActionbarSherlock 4.0 to create my actionbar. I have three icons in the actionbar - home, preferences, and help, and a dashboard screen to start the app with 6 different activities to choose from. In all 6 activities, the home button just goes to the Dashboard activity.
* In the Help Activity, the actionbar only shows the preferences and home icon. The home icon has the "up" indicator. In the onOptionsItemSelected method in the HelpActivity uses finish() for the case of selecting the home button. It all works as described. * In the PreferencesActivity the actionbar only shows the help and home icon. The home icon has the "up" indicator. In the onOptionsItemSelected method in the PreferencesActivity uses finish() for the case of selecting the home button. It all works as described. If I click on Help, then Preferences, then Help, then Preferences, then Help, and then go back, I have to go back through the whole chain to get to my starting point. I seem to be creating several HelpActivities and PreferenceActivities as I go (I put a toast message in each activities onCreate method to tell me when the activity is created). This behavior does not seem to be a good idea. So, my question is: in the onOptionsItemSelected method for the HelpActivity, how do I determine if there is an existing PreferenceActivity and go to that one, or create a new one if there isn't one. I would think there must be some Android pattern for this problem, as I can't be that clever to be the first one to run into this problem. Thanks!
