Hello everyone, I am trying to display activities that were already created but are currently in the background. The problem is that I use startActivity or startSubActivity from the current activity to display them, which will create a new instance of the background activity. When calling finish on this new instance, I would want all instances of that activity to be closed, which is not the case. I could use launchMode="singleInstance" in the manifest file, but I don't like how the transition is done between different activities (i.e., when starting a new activity from my single instance one, an empty screen is displayed, then the single instance activity is displayed again for a couple of seconds, then the new (map) activity is shown -- this only happens when displaying a map activity). If I don't use single instance on my original activity, the transition is done smoothly.
I tried using an approach mentioned in a previous thread, where I first have to get the task id for the activity and use that when trying to bring it to the foreground, but I get the same task id for every activity that I create. Single instance would have solved that also, but as mentioned above, I dislike the screen transition process. It would have been nice to be able to get a list of all existing (background) activities and close them manually, but I don't think it's possible. If I call finish() write after I start a new activity, an intermediate screen appears before showing the new activity, which I dislike also. I am implementing the whole onActivityResult concept, but this goes to waits (at least in my case) when more than one instance of an activity is running, since I want all instances to be closed when one is. Hence, exiting the application has become more cumbersome. How can I solve this problem?
