When an activity fails to start all I see in LogCat is .. *nothing* related to that Activity. If the Activity is created or started (or paused, etc) * then* I see it in Logcat. Are you saying that I should see a message saying that the Activity failed to start or be created? I run LogCat in verbose mode with no filters on. > For the onActivityResult getting called instantly: Your returning activity > was probably started with a singleTask or singleInstance.

I knew the returning Activity had to be standard but I only found out that the caller couldn't be singleInstance by time-consuming trial-and-error. I've never seen it documented. When I made the caller activity also standard it worked. Which illustrates my question: which is whether there's a way to *systematically* find out from Android what happened. Is any of this stuff instrumented so we can see why something did or did not happen? I'm currently trying to debug a case where I can ONLY start an activity if it's singleInstance. I don't know why and lots of people on StackOverflow have made many guesses and suggestions, none of which (as of this writing) have worked. Because we're all fumbling in the dark since we don't know what Android is doing behind the scenes. I want to know if there's a way to find out. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
