Hi, The case is that i need to create an activity that will download some data via http rest API. This activity will be launched from a main activity included in a tabwidget. Really i don't have any technical problem on how to implement it, it is not really difficult.
I have doubts on what is the best way to structure the code. My idea is to start loading data in the onCreate method of my activity that shows this data. So the first time this activity is shown (via startActivity(Intent)) then start loading this data. Once this activity is loaded first time and data is downloaded, the next times this activity is shown i would like to use previously downloaded data. Really it is not very difficult, as i could store this data in other class than activity, and simply check if this data exists in the onCreate method of activity shown. Other idea could be to keep downloaded data in a static variable of the activity... But really i am not sure if those options are the most natural way to do it on Android... On other platforms i would instantiate the view only once (activity on Android case) and show it all the times is necessary, storing on the instance the downloaded data. After checking activity docs, i don't see a way to reuse activity instances.. Any time i do startactivity(intent), the activity is recreated and onCreate called... Any ideas or suggestions on how to do it? Regards. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
