First of all, don't use am. All it does is call startActivity() from its own environment, so you have just made things 10x harder for yourself, impossible to actually integrate with your UI flow, likely to break in the future, and not gotten to do anything more than startActivity() does. Second, when you start an activity, it starts out at the top of its stack, and its window has focus. You don't need to do anything special. I don't know what you are doing to cause this behavior, but simply calling startActivity() from your own activity will work.
Third, please be sure you read the application fundamentals documentation: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html On Sun, Sep 13, 2009 at 3:31 AM, HandsomeboyIT <[email protected]>wrote: > > hi all, > Can anybody show me how to switch to another Android application > programmatically or request focus on a specific application?
