Android :: Intent Activity Crash Behaviour - App Restarts Halfway Through The App
Oct 13, 2010
I have a pretty standard iPhone app that creates a series of around 7 unique Activities initialised by Intents.
However if the app crashes on the 7th Activity, the app restarts on the users phone around the 5th activity. The problem then is the info gathered from activities 1-4 is null, meaning the app is useless and the only way to get the app working again is to either continually press back or else kill the process.
Why does this behaviour occur, and is there a way to force the app to start back at the first activity when it crashes.

When views with different type have same id and screen orientation changes,
either java.lang.ClassCastException: android.view.AbsSavedState$1 or java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong state class -- expecting View State will occur. (depends on the view's order)
Because View.dispatchRestoreInstanceState() checks id only.
You may wonder why anyone would make views with different type to have same id.
But it can happen when you use tab activity.
Imagine you have tab activity with two children activity.
Tab1 is ListActivity and Tab2 is ExpandableListActivity.
Both activity have id of "@android:id/list" but the type of view is different.
This means we cannot use ListActivity & ExpandableListActivit at the same in one tab activity.

I am experiencing a crash in my app when I quit (via the back button) out of my Activity. So far as I can tell this is happening in the Android codebase and not mine, but I'm not completely convinced of that.

My app works with pictures. It can take multiple pictures as an input, process them, and send them again to another app.
As a consequence, my main Activity has declared an intent filter on ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE for image/* mimetypes and can result in issuing a new Intent with the same action and data type using Activity.startActivity(Intent).
Is there a way to exclude my own activity from the list of apps that is displayed to the user after the startActivity() call ?

Activity SplashScreen is the launching activity for my app. It sends a request to my server and gets back a user data it then uses to populate a user object which is a static object. Once it has that it calls the MyMapView activity and finishes itself. A force close occurs when I hit the home button and then open up enough other apps so that Android kills MyMapView to get more resources. Now when I open my app again it tries to start MyMapView and bypasses SplashScreen. There is no user object so I get null pointer exceptions. I have tried to Override the onSaveInstanceState and OnRestoreInstanceState but it seems that those are not available when Android kills the activity. I also tried android:finishOnTaskLaunch with the SplashScreen (maybe this should be put on MyMapView but the article I read said different) and that seems to have no effect. What I would like is for the activity to not restart after Android has killed it. What can I do about this?

I'm having difficulties handling multiple instances of my root (main) activity for my application. My app in question has an intent filter in place to launch my application when opening an email attatchment from the "Email" app. My problem is if I launch my application first through the the android applications screen and then launch my application via opening the Email attachment it creates two instances of my root activity. steps: Launch root activity A, press home Open email attachment, intent filter triggers launches root activity A Is it possible when opening the Email attachment that when the OS tries to launch my application it detects there is already an instance of it running and use that or remove/clear that instance?

I'm switching between different Activities using Intents. For one Activity, I would like it to clear the history stack so when the user presses the back button, it takes them Home instead of previous activities in my application.

I've searched for a few hours for a solution to this, so hopefully this isn't a repost I'm setting a shortcut on the Home screen which raises an Intent to my application - the problem is that I don't want to show my app, just run a little code and display a Toast notification. This must be possible - I just can't work out how.. Once I'm handling the shortcut Intent in onCreate() the UI has initialised and I get a little screen flicker if I then run my code and finish().

I have a service that is downloading a file. When the download is done, I would like to update my "Downloaded files" list in my Activity, but only if the Activity is running. I do not want the Activity to start if it's not already running. I was hoping I could do this by making a new Intent with some special flag. Anyone have any idea how I can achieve this? A tiny code example maybe?

I want to pass a value from one Activity to another to update an integer. So basically I want Activity2 to send Activity1 a value it has garnered from user input. Seems like it should be simple just not sure how. Is it possible to run a function from another Activity and give it this value as an argument?

I'm having a struggle understanding why my intent is not working. I basically just copied paste from other examples in my code that work perfectly like this. Here it is:
Intent addIntent = new Intent(v.getContext(), thenNnowMode.class);
Bundle w = new Bundle(); String activityName = "addPic";
w.putString("activity", activityName);
w.putParcelable("bitmap", selectedDeviceImage);
//a.putString("id", picId); addIntent.putExtras(w);
startActivity(addIntent); finish();
The intent is opening a different class called thenNnow.class instead of thenNnowMode.class and I have no idea why this is happening. I've tried sending the intent to open other activities other than thenNnowMode but it always opens thenNnow. Am I missing some silly syntax mistake? It's so strange, its the same code. I am not sure if it's relevant but the thenNnowMode class uses the device camera

I've got two activities, one of them is called MyActivity. I want both of them to be able to use a function located in a class othat we may call MyClass. In MyClass, I try to use an intent to launch the activity AnotherActivity. Since the constructor takes a context as parameter, I simply tried to store a context from the activity in the constructor, and then use it when I try to create my intent.However, even thought none of the arguments are null (checked that with a simple if-statement), intent seems to be null and a NullPointerException is thrown. Why does it not work, and what can I do to solve the problem?
I'm quite new to Android and Java development, so please explain it as basic as you can.

Suppose that I installed app A and app B, app A has a main activity, and app B wants to show that activity by sending a intent. My question is that how android knows I have installed app A and is able to map the intent to its activity? Is there any windows-registry-like store saving such information?

I have a central activity that can be launched from two separate classes. I was hoping that in this central activity I could have an IF statement like
if(this.getIntent() == MainMenu.class)
{
// Do something here
}
But obviously that isn't legal so how could I structure an expression to check from what class an intent was started.

I have an activity that uses a service. While the service is running (it sends some stuff in background) I display a progress bar and disable the send button.
Now I created an Intent to update the interface after the send service has finished. How can I do this only if the activity is still on top? I tried to figure out this in the service with:
