Hi all, I am bit confused after reading documentation about FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP and "singleTask" launchMode
In documentation it given as : { FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP If the activity being started is already running in the current task, then instead of launching a new instance of that activity, all of the other activities on top of it are destroyed and this intent is delivered to the resumed instance of the activity (now on top), through onNewIntent()). There is no value for the launchMode attribute that produces this behavior. } But i experimented FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP behaviour using "singleTask" launchMode and i got exactly same . I created 3 activies Activity_A,Activity_B and Activity_C. In manifest file i set android:launchMode="singleTask" for activity B. Each activity have a button to launch next activity ie Activity_A >launches Activity_B >launches Activity_C >launches Activity_B. so this is the order in which i launch activity A>B>C>B. In case of FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP: I did A>B>C then as per documentation i started Activity_B from Activity C using intent with flag FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP so Activity C is destroyed and back stack contains A>B . In case of "singleTask" launchMode in Activity_B: i followed same procedure as A>B>C>B above instead of FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flag i used singletask launch mode . finally the back stack contains A>B . So what is difference between both ?In documentation it says "There is no value for the launchMode attribute that produces this behavior as of FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP" but I got same behaviour with "singleTask" launchMode ..
