I have an application that can be started through the launcher but also through the browser via a custom URL such as appname://parameters.
The root activity is called ActivityA. The launchmode for ActivityA was set to singleTop. I do the following -- 1. Go to the launcher and click the app icon. 2. ActivityA is launched. 3. Click a button in the app that takes us to ActivityB. 4. Hit the HOME key to put our task in the background. Now we go to a website that launches a url that is handled by our application through an intent-filter, e.g. appname://parameters 1. This seems to launch ActivityA as intended but under the same task as the browser. 2. Launch ActivityB Result is that we have two different tasks with the same app. Task 1 ----------- ActivityB ActivityA Task 2 ----------- ActivityB ActivityA Browser Of course this behavior is not desired. That is the imperative for using singleTask, since another application launches ActivityA. In this case on launching from the browser, ActivityA comes to the forefront within Task1 and ActivityB is killed. This is the desired behavior. However, launching again from the launcher also seems to clear Task 1. For example, 1. Go to the launcher and click the app icon. 2. ActivityA is launched. 3. Click a button in the app that takes us to ActivityB. 4. Hit the HOME key to put our task in the background. 5. From the launcher click the app icon again. ActivityB will be killed and ActivityA will come to the foreground. How do you prevent this behavior? Originally, Intent.Action.MAIN was used to launch ActivityA and I dont want the entire stack to be cleared when I click the same icon again thus relaunching Intent.Action.MAIN. How do I prevent this?
