[android-developers] two questions from a newbie
I have a couple of questions 1) If you have a form in in app what do you do if the app goes into the background while you are in the middle of completing the form? Do you need to do something in OnResume or will it resume in the state that you left it in before it went into the background? 2) If you have something like Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setData(Uri.parse(uri)); startActivity(i); in OnCreate what do you do about OnResume so that the browser is pointing to where it was when it was left or do you have to start it again Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

At minimum, when onSaveInstanceState() is called, stuff the form contents into the Bundle, at least for widgets where that is not handled automatically. You may also consider whether you should persist the form contents to a temporary file or something, in case your activity is destroyed before the user comes back to it. 2) If you have something like Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setData(Uri.parse(uri)); startActivity(i); in OnCreate what do you do about OnResume so that the browser is pointing to where it was when it was left or do you have to start it again I'm sorry, but I don't follow this part at all. If you call startActivity() on a URL, the default browser will display that URL.
