I've noticed some strange behaviour with resuming a task from a Home icon.
Very easy to replicate, just create a new bare bones android project using eclipse, don't need to add anything. Then follow these steps: 1. In eclipse, Run the project on a emulator or device. 2. Once the app installs and launches the first activity, press Home key. 3. Launch the app again by pressing its icon. 4. Press Back key. Now this part seems wrong, you'll go back to the original activity in the stack, instead of the Home screen, even though its been previously launched and what you expect is it to bring back the stack as it was left, with one activity. If you repeat steps 2-3, it will just keep adding the same activity to the stack. That is until you press Back all the way through the stack to the Home screen. Now this behaviour will never again replicate. It will be the correct (?) behaviour of bringing back the stack history at the state it was when Home was pressed. Note there are no behavioural modifications, this is just a default application. However, I tried many combinations of launchModes and stack clearing, they had no effect on the first run. Unless I'm interpreting the documentation wrong, when the user presses the Home key, the task is moved in to the background and simply brought back the next time they press the app icon? Why is the app icon altering the task it creates, if it already exists (with no flag modifications)? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
