I have an issue with one of my applications that is using a PendingIntent to launch an activity from a widget...
This is the piece of code that does the trick: PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx, widgetId, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); views.setOnClickPendingIntent(resId, pendingIntent); Now let me explain you the cases: This is the flow it should do: [Widget] -> Click button, launch activity [StartTimeRegistrationActivity] -> task needs to be selected so start TaskSelectionActivity for result automatically [TaskSelectionActivity] <- Task selected, so the TaskSelectionActivity is finished and coming back in the onActivityResult -> Do some automated stuff in this activity <- Finish the activity (so finish() and go into onDestroy()) If, from somewhere in my application, I start the activity manually (so without a pending intent) it's started correctly and executes correctly. However if I start it with the PendingIntent with the flag set to PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT part of my flow is not executed anymore, specifically the onActivityResult of the StartTimeRegistrationActivity. So this becomes the flow: [Widget] -> Click button, launch activity [StartTimeRegistrationActivity] -> task needs to be selected so start TaskSelectionActivity for result automatically [TaskSelectionActivity] <- Task selected, so the TaskSelectionActivity is finished, but not coming in the onActivityResult but directly to the onDestory() method (not passing the finish() method anywhere) If I change the pending intent to use the flag PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT the flow is executed correctly. But then, when the StartTimeRegistrationActivity is open, and the user presses the back-button to cancel his action (a case that is perfectly acceptable for this application) he cannot click the button anymore because the PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT declares that it will be automatically cancelled as soon as the send() method is called once on it. So any ideas here how to work around it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
