Hi, I have an app with two activities, one of which the launchmode is set to "singleTask". From the Android dev guide, I got the impression that my SingleTaskActivity should start a new task (or reuse an old task) and always sit at the root of the stack when launched. However, it's inconsistent with the behavior of the app if I follow the steps below: - launch StandardActivity from home - click the "home" key - launch SingleTaskActivity from home, you will see it's in the foreground as expected - click the "Back" key, StandardActivity comes to the foreground whereas I expect to see the home screen because SingleTaskActivity is supposed to be at the ROOT of the stack. It appears SingleTaskActivity was launched into the task that StandardActivity started, rather than starting its own task.
Is my understanding about the "singleTask" launch mode correct? Thanks, - PS: === The Android Dev guide (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ manifest/activity-element.html#lmode) says: In contrast, "singleTask" and "singleInstance" activities can only begin a task. They are always at the root of the activity stack. Moreover, the device can hold only one instance of the activity at a time — only one such task. === My AndroidManifest.xml file: <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/ app_name"> <activity android:name=".StandardActivity" android:label="Standard"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name=".SingleTaskActivity" android:label="ActivitySingleTask" android:launchMode="singleTask" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
