It is perfectly okay to call startActivity() for another instance of yourself, and then finish() of your current activity. Without more information, I can't help much with what is going on, but as far as I know there are no bugs that would cause this. When you do this kind of thing, though, keep in mind:
- Your activity should use the default "multiple" launch mode. The other launch modes will retain your current instance of the activity without starting a new one. - Be careful of any static variables you have around, since you will have multiple instances of the same activity using the same statics.
