I appreciate everyone's efforts in making suggestions, but this has clearly stumped everyone, both here and on Stack Overflow.
Is there a support/bugs forum read by actual Google/Android engineers I can ask a question like this on? Or is there a any documentation on the internal steps taken *between* startActivity and when the target activity Life Cycle steps begin? Right now I feel like launching an activity in Android is like putting a message in a bottle and throwing it in the ocean - IF it arrives at the other end then great. But if it doesn't then there's no visibility or control over why. We can try different bottles - whiskey bottles or ketchup bottles - or low tide or high tide - but it seems like it's all guesswork. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
