Question

I have a splash screen, a GridView, a simple text view.

On application start, I show the splash screen after which i call “finish()” to exit the activity and then start the “GridView” activity.

1st page: Grid View having 4 buttons, let's call it Home page..
2nd page: On click of 1st button, SAME grid view is called. But this time, there are 5 buttons.
3rd page: On click of 1st button, same grid view is called. This time there are 3 buttons.
4th page: On click of 1st button, it opens a simple text view, which has a text box and an "Home" button.

On home page, when i click the back button, I want the application to exit, or close…
But since the 1st, 2nd, 3rd page are still in the stack, I cannot just exit the application.

On my home screen, if i hit the “home” button of the tablet, the application exits. When i start the application again from the “Apps” option, the previously present screen is shown and not the splash screen!!!

I want it to show the splash screen.

Answer 1

Call new screen using

Intent intent = new Intent(activity,secondActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
activity.startActivity(intent);

When you hit home button , application get resume. so next time it open the same page. for this use

@Override
protected void onRestart() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onRestart();
    startActivity(new Intent(Activity1.this,spalshscreen.class));
}

on restarting , you can also reset flag using Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP if activity is in stack.
