Hi For my application, I only ever want a single instance to run and I only ever want a single instance to exist of my main activity class. If the user navigates away from my app (e.g. by pressing the home key) then if it hasn't been destroyed by the system I'd like the user to go back to the same instance when they click on the application from the homescreen.
I read the app fundementals section (several times!) and I think this means I should specify singleTask. However - in practise everything seems to work in the way I want just using the default settings (standard mode). If I leave the application (e.g. on a settings menu in a sub activity) then when I click back on the application from the homescreen I go back to the activity I left. I assume that this is because when you launch an app from the homescreen the system is using the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag, causing it to reattach to my existing instance? So - my question is, why is singleTask needed? I can't see any way that users could end up with two instances of a standard mode application running anyway?
