Android :: Check Activity Stack From Service?

Aug 19, 2010

I have an app that starts a service, then starts another activity previously selected by the user. Everything works on my app except I'm trying to get the service to kill itself, after it leaves the other activity without it having to come back to my activity. I've looked everywhere to see if anyone knows how to peek() search() the Activity Stack from a Service. Another way of wording is to check the foreground process from a service.

Android :: Check If Any Items On History / Activity Stack?

Nov 16, 2009

I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to see if there is anything on the history stack so I can programatically display a Back button or not.

I tried getting the RunningTaskInfo to get the num of activities but it doesn't seem to work quite right for what I need. Does anyone know of another way?

Android :: How To Clear Activity Stack If Using Same Activity Multiple Times?

Mar 3, 2010

So I have an app with Activity A. The layout on the activity is dynamic genearted. So it's possible that on Activity A a user hits a button that goes to "A" and the new page looks different, then a user clicks another button to go to "A" again. Now I have 2 Activities in the history stack. A, A, and currently on A. Is it possible that if a user clicks a button that the whole Activity stack is cleared in a scenario such as this?

Android :: How To Clear All Activity In Stack Below Latest Activity?

Dec 22, 2009

All the current discussions involves clearing all activites above an existing activyt, but I'm trying to find a way to clear all the activities before the latest activity in the stack. So my scenario is A -> B -> C and then when a user goes to Activity D, activies A,B,C should be cleared from the activity stack. FLAG_ACTIVITY _CLEAR_TOP seems to only clear any activites above an existing activity. Anybody run into this scenario and found a solution?

Android :: Clear Activity Stack And Replace With A New Activity

Sep 17, 2009

i want to clear the activity stack and replace it with a new activity as the root activity, even if that activity exists somewhere on the stack (or not). i see FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP and FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, but it's not obvious to me how to use those in conjunction to achieve what I want. it's like i want to completely restart the task with some activity that i specify as the new root.

Android :: Strange Activity Stack Behavior When Using Map Activity

Apr 23, 2010

I have the following activity structure in my application A simple "splash screen" activity is started when the application is fired up (let's call it "Splash"). This activity starts the main activity when the user presses a button (I will call it "Main"). Main can in turn start two activities from the menu. The first activity presents a simple form (let's call this one "Form"), the second is a MapActivity that presents a map (it is called "Map").
Main, Form, and Map are declared exactly the same in the manifest:
<activity android:name="fully qualified activity class"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation"
> <intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter> </activity> When Main is active and I start Form and press "back", Main comes up again. Pressing "back" again brings up "Splash". Nothing strange here.Now comes the strange part: when I am in Main, start Map, and press "back", Main comes up as expected. But pressing "back" again just restarts Main. A second press on "back" is needed to bring me back to Splash!So it seems that starting the Map activity somehow results in Main ending up on the activity stack twice while starting the Form activity does not! Both Form and Map are started like this: start Activity(new Intent(this, MyActivity.class)); I don not catch the back key in any activity.Any clues on what is going on or how to debug this?

Android :: Clear Activity Stack?

Nov 3, 2009

Is there a way to clear our Activity stack? For example, a user in my app progresses through these activities, one is launched from the previous activity: ActivityA -> ActivityB -> ActivityC if the user is now looking at ActivityC, and they hit the back button, they will go back to ActivityB. Is it possible to add a menu to ActivityC where the user can clear their activity stack, and then launch a new instance of ActivityA? This would be so the user can jump to a particular activity in my application without getting confused with the back button + history,

Android :: Activity Stack Not Preserved

Mar 10, 2010

My main activity A has as set android:launchMode="singleTask" in the manifest. Now, whenever I start another activity from there, e.g. B and press the HOME BUTTON on the phone to return to the home screen and then again go back to my app, either via pressing the app's button or pressing the HOME BUTTONlong to show my most recent apps it doesn't preserve my activity stack and returns straight to A instead of the expected activity B.Is there a setting I'm missing or is this a bug? If the latter, is there a workaround for this until the bug is fixed?

Android :: Traversing Activity Stack

Sep 1, 2010

how can I assure I always go back clicking on custom menu option to previous activity. I think it is a good idea to start new activities by startActivity(context, XActivity.class) but then when option is selected I should call finish on that activity or again call startActivity(this, previousActivityName)?on the other hand android has all activities on a stack so clicking goback button on a phone I will always go back to previous view, so how can I get this stack.

Android :: Resetting Activity Stack

Sep 22, 2009

Activities: A & B are activities that once you have navigated away from them it's not logical that you can get back to them using the back button. C X are activities that follow the usual "can go back to where you came from" flow.App flow: * Launch app from Home -> starts A * From A start B * Finish A (removes it from stack) * From B start C * Finish B (removes it from stack) * From C start D * From D start E.Once the user has reached E, the activity stack looks like this: C -> D -> E. Can I somehow reset the whole stack so it starts again at A so it's as the user just launched it from Home (so that C... E are removed from the history stack)?

Android :: Not Understanding Activity Stack?

Dec 3, 2009

I'm having trouble with my activities when they go in the background. I have two activities, A and B. Only A can launch B (manifest copied below).This is very confusing. It's like Android knows my app is running, and puts a new instance of A on top of the old B instance running. I'd just expect that the application gets paused in-place, and whenever the user hits the app icon again, it just picks up where it left off (in this case, just show B again!) Below is the manifest, and the activity classes for this test are completely empty (except A which has a button to launch B).

Android :: How To Reuse Activity On Top Of Stack

Jun 16, 2010

My app has a single entry activity called "Main". In "Main" I call one of three other activities A, B, or C (based on a preference) and then immediately exit/finish"Main" so that only A, B, or C are active.I also have a permanent notification in the notification bar that users can pull down (at any time) to conveniently restart my App (calls intent with "Main" component).The problem is that if my app is already running and users pull down the notification and restart, I get A or B or C running on top of the previous activity (also A, or B, or C). How can I avoid this (i.e. reuse the activity on top of the stack)?I've tried Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_* and nothing seems to work. I've tried launchModel in the Manifest and it also didn't seem to work.

Android :: SingleTask Really Always At Root Of Activity Stack?

Sep 16, 2009

In the documentation it is stated that an activity with launchMode="singleTask" is always at the root of the sctivity stack. However, when I run my "singleTask" activity for a few scenarios and monitors behaviour with "adb shell dumpsys activity" I can see it placed both at the top of the stack (with numActivities=2) and in the middle of the stack (with numActivities=3). The activity at the root (frontOfTask=True) has a "normal" launchMode.Is the documentation incorrect or am I missing something?

Android :: SingleTask / Activity Stack Not Preserved?

Feb 18, 2010

I have an activity, ActivityA, and its launchMode is set to "singleTask".I start the application from the app tray. ActivityA launches ActivityB from a button click. ActivityB is a normal activity with no launchMode set ("standard").With ActivityB on top of the activity stack, I hit the home button, then resume the app, I see ActivityA instead of ActivityB when resumed.Shouldn't the history stack be preserved in this case, and B be showing? When I resume, I see A get onNewIntent() called, and I'm not sure why this is happening. I thought the stack would be preserved.
