I have to admit: I haven't followed your whole discussion because
you've given a very small amount of sample code. I see that you're
trying to launch with an intent, but don't see why it could include
problems.
So if you want a comprehensive answer, please make up a small sample
project and put it somewhere: I'll try to investigate.
Given what you've said, I can try to shine some light with the
information I know up to this point.
You think that this code is weird:
(in onCreate, or some main thread method..)
ctx.startActivity(intent);
Thread.sleep(2000);
ctx.startActivity(intent); //!! investigating a weird bug
I would suspect that this would only fire a single intent: intents
will not start until that method has returned (message processing will
happen on that thread), and identical intents will be identified.
However, it *is* strange that if you only call startActivity once you
don't get anything happening.
I don't know if this just a simple mistake, or something going on in
the framework (I want to say a simple mistake, just because as the
platform gets older that code has fewer bugs..). However, if you can
create a reproducible project, I'd be happy to try to find out what's
going on.
