Question

I have four activities A,B,C,D. I am passing an text from activity A to Activity B using bundle and Activity B is displaying it nicely. Then i move from Activity B to Activity C and then Activity D. After that i called Activity B from the Activity D with the help of intent and i seeing no text are there in Activity B.

Please suggest me the way to keep the text there, with some code example.

Answer 1

You would need to use either FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP or FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT.

Without one of these you are creating a new instance of your activity instead of revealing the old one. You can set activity flags on the intent you start from activity D:

intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

before you call startActivity.
