Question

I have an activity.. when it is calls onPause() it starts a new activity.. Problem is when I lock screen of my phone..It calls the onPause which cause it to go back to the main activity but I want to stay in that activity.. Is there a way to fix this ?

This is the code snippet if it helps..

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    call_next_activity(call_next_act);
}

private void call_next_activity(Boolean call_next) {
    if (!call_next)
        return;
    Intent select_one;
    if (program_id) {
        select_one = new Intent("c.theworld.com.nikhil.MENU");
    } else {
        select_one = new Intent("c.theworld.com.nikhil.CHAPTER");
        Chapter.call_menu = true;
    }
    startActivity(select_one);
}

You really, really, really shouldn’t put something like that in onPause().

onPause() is a lifecycle indicating the activity is stopping for some reason, the user presses home, back, gets a phone call. Many events outside your control can cause onPuase() to be called.

You should most definitely not start anything in the onPause() method, Re-factor your app to work differently is what you need to do.
