Question

In my application,it requires to start the application from the starting activity or the first activity;as the application is authenticated by a login section..

So,whenever the application gets exit;say,via pressing BACK or HOME button,i need to start the application from the login itself…Is there any method to do the same?

I tried a simple technique by overriding the KEYEVENT,and implementing the finish() method inside.It works for the the BACK button;but its not working for the HOME button…

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME) {

        finish();    
    }
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {

        finish();    
    }
    return false;
}

Answer 1

Ya got the answer…

I just included the following attribute for the first activity to be displayed all the time,as i said in my question…

android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"

also include this attribute for the other activities…

android:finishOnTaskLaunch="true"

Just try……
