Question

I have 2 activities “A” and “B”, “A” starts “B”. I start activity “B” with startActivityForResult() method. When “B” is in foreground and home button is pressed app goes to background. And when I try to launch app again it starts with activity “A”, not “B”. Result for activity “B” is cancelled.
Why “B” is closed?
I thought that using launchModes in manifest can solve the problem but documentation says that I can’t use singleTask and singleInstanse modes becouse the result will be cancelled and activity will not start.

How can I solve this?

PS
Thanks for answers, problem is solved. I tried to use finish() in onStop(), so when activity “B” is in foreground and home button is pressed, it finishes.

Answer 1

Start your activity B with an intent, using the method startActivity(Intent).

Your intent should be created with the arguments A.this and B.class, resulting in code looking somewhat like this:

Intent i = new Intent(A.this, B.class);

A.this.startActivity(i);
