Well, your second activity is behaving as it should. It's supposed to go through onDestroy() after finish(), followed by onCreate() on the next open. Rather than using an activity for the second screen, you could try a managed dialog, as they're cached, so after the first pop, subsequent ones (for the same lifecycle of your first activity) should be held onto. Or, work out something else where you switch between two Views instead of displaying a whole 'nuther activity, such as using ViewFlipper. You might be able to figure out something using the whole task thing, but I'm dubious. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Beginning Android_ from Apress Now Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
