In onCreate() of Activity A, before you call setContentView(), make the determination of whether A really needs to be shown. If not, call startActivity() for B, followed by finish() to get rid of your unnecessary A. Or, create Activity C that is your actual launcher entry point, with android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoDisplay" in its <activity> element. It makes the choice of whether to call startActivity() on A or B to route the user to the right spot, and then calls finish(). Or, have the launcher be Activity B. B, in onCreate(), before you call setContentView(), see if you need the user to see A instead. If so, call startActivity() on A, or possibly even startActivityForResult(). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 4.0 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
