Thanks for all the input guys-- Mark, it is indeed very strange that my Activity's onCreate is not being called here. And the reason I have chosen not to use a database or flat file is because the lifetime of this data is a maximum of 20 minutes before my app rules it outdated and fetches new data from the server. Didn't really see the point in writing data with such a short shelf life to a more permanent data store. If my app is destroyed and relaunched within this 20 minute period, I have no problem with doing a fresh API fetch (why not? the more frequently [while remaining un- invasive] I can update the data, the better)... I will throw
Christopher, nope not overring onNewIntent--sounds like some weird behavior you've run into there... Is it possible that a memory leak could possibly be the cause of this behavior? I had some leaks previously but went through all my code a couple weeks ago and believe I have removed them all but I haven't completely confirmed this [although my app hasn't hit any OutOfMemory errors since then]. I don't see why a memory leak would be removing data though, normally they causes data to pile up... I have found one issue in my code that may resolve this.. I implemented a potential fix but have not had a chance to test on my device yet. Will post back. In the meanwhile, anyone else with thoughts on this matter, please share :) Nick On Apr 20, 9:48 am, Christopher <christopher...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just out of curiosity, is your Activity making use of onNewIntent()? > I was curious because I recently worked on an Activity that did, and > found that many variables in the Activity were set to null after this > method completed.
