Question

I have an android tabbed application and inside one of my tabs is an activity that has a ListView of favorite items.
The user can add or remove items in an activity that is further down the flow.
The problem is, I can’t reload the list when user comes back.
onResume does not get called so I dont know when I should reload the list.

EDIT

This is how I’m starting the subsequent activities.

Intent i = new Intent(this, CargasCadastro.class);
// Create the view using Group's LocalActivityManager
Window win = CargasGroup.group.getLocalActivityManager().startActivity("CargasCadastro",i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
View guialayout = win.getDecorView();
// Again, replace the view
CargasGroup.group.replaceView(guialayout);

onTabChanged wont work because the the activity that contains the list is not a TabActivity, and my problem is coming back from a subsequent activity, not a parallel one. Thanks for the suggestions.

Answer 1

The way I got it working.
Created a static public instance of the activity inside itself (almost like a singleton).

public static MyActivity instance;
...
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    instance = this;
...

and a public method that reloads the data and refreshes the listview. Then the down-the-flux activity, accesses this instance and calls the method.
Its dirty, but works.

Will accept my own answer as long as it gets upvoted (hoping for a cleaner solution).
