AFAIK, you can't. > Following on from that, is there a way to tell: > > a) That the application has just been launched from the main > application launcher, from the home screen. You can see if the Intent has CATEGORY_HOME. This isn't a guarantee (non-home-screen "launchers" might set this), but it's a reasonable test. > b) If the application has just been resumed via the recent apps list, > i.e. hold down home button, select app from recent list. You can see if the Intent has FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY. This too isn't a guarantee (other things might set this flag for crazy reasons), but it's a reasonable test. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 3.1 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
