But when i minimize app and start app from menu (clicking on app icon), it starts from launch activity (Activity A), like app restarts.How can i prevent that..Pls help

Answer 1

Well there is no ‘android’ general solution for this. You can mark it with some flags and prevent this , at least I do not know any flags. But the thing you can do is in your main (first) activity check some variable in shared preferences and start the activity B by your own.

you can save this needToGoToB in the shared preferences, for example when you enter in activity B you can set to be true.

if(needToGoToB){
startActivity(new Intent(this,B.class));
finish();
else{
//just normal flow
}
