I have an intent that starts the default Android mail client: Intent emailIntent = this.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage( "com.android.email" ); this.startActivity( emailIntent );
Very simple stuff, and it fires off the Email client, from an "Import from Email" button in my app. My application is also registered with an <intent-filter> to open PDF files. So, if I use the above Intent to open up the Email client, find an email with a PDF attachment, download it, launch it, select my application from the chooser... then everything loads great. Now if I hit my "Import from Email" button again, the intent runs, but the Email client is never brought into the foreground. Am I missing something when using startActivity() to (re)launch the correct app? I have tried checking if the intent is OK by following this http://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents/sending.html#Verify but it always returns true (and that makes sense, as it can find the Application, but it's just not bringing it to the foreground). I have also tried using startActivityForResult(), but as explained in the Android docs, this fires off a "cancel" immediately, because the Activity is not Explicit, but Implicit (thought I'd try it, just in case). I feel like I'm missing something, a step, a call to something... or have I hit upon some strange loop that works in one case, but cannot keep looping? Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
