I'm not sure if my explanation is clear? It seems that during the life cycle of an activity the getIntent().getDataString() will return the same intent data it originally got when the activity gets terminated and restarted.
This issue is easily reproduced when the activity goes to the background and android terminates it and than comes back to the foreground... Any clues how to remove the intent data completely so that I don't get repeated requests when this scenario is seen? -Moto On Jan 20, 6:49 pm, Moto <[email protected]> wrote: > I currently make my activity support few different MIME types and I > receive the request at onCreate() than I do the following to actually > get the request: > > String data = getIntent().getDataString(); > String type = getIntent().getType(); > > Once I get the request, I remove the request from the intent so that > every time the onCreate get's called I don't process that request > again: > > this.getIntent().setDataAndType(Uri.parse(""), ""); > this.getIntent().removeExtra("data"); > this.getIntent().removeExtra("type"); > > Currently this works but if the activity goes to the background and > eventually get's terminated and I return the activity to the > foreground the request returns data from the previous request... > Why?
