Hi, Dianne: this is the portion of the dump that I get by executing "adb shell dumpsys activity" : ---------------------- Activities in Current Activity Manager State: Task{3 com.robosoft.example} clearOnBackground=false numActivities=3 rootWasReset=true affinity=com.robosoft.example intent=Intent { action=android.intent.action.MAIN categories={android.intent.category.LAUNCHER} flags=0x10200000
comp={com.robosoft.example/com.robosoft.example.AppRootActivity} } History #3: HistoryRecord{434d2090 {com.robosoft.example/com.robosoft.example.SingleTaskActivity}} packageName=com.robosoft.example processName=com.robosoft.example app=ProcessRecord{43516130 181:com.robosoft.example/10018} Intent { flags=0x10000000 comp={com.robosoft.example/com.robosoft.example.SingleTaskActivity} } History #2: HistoryRecord{434fb848 {com.robosoft.example/com.robosoft.example.ChildActivityOfRoot}} packageName=com.robosoft.example processName=com.robosoft.example app=ProcessRecord{43516130 181:com.robosoft.example/10018} Intent { comp={com.robosoft.example/com.robosoft.example.ChildActivityOfRoot} } History #1: HistoryRecord{434fe2e8 {com.robosoft.example/com.robosoft.example.AppRootActivity}} packageName=com.robosoft.example processName=com.robosoft.example app=ProcessRecord{43516130 181:com.robosoft.example/10018} Intent { action=android.intent.action.MAIN categories={android.intent.category.LAUNCHER} --------------------------------------- As I gather, this shows that all three activities are part of the same task, even though I use FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK while starting 'SingleTaskActivity' and mark it with 'singleTask' launch mode. The intent flag value (0x10000000) indicates this in the top most activity entry above. I cannot explain this behavior with my current understanding derived from the documentation. What am I missing here? thanks On Sat, May 2, 2009 at 10:50 AM, devi prasad <dpras...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, Dianne: ok, thanks. > I use the following functions to determine the task id and if it is > the root of a task: > > activity.getTaskId(); > activity.isTaskRoot(); > > I used logcat looking for useful hints.
