"non-multiple" means everything except the standard launch mode (which before 1.0 was in fact called multiple, which is where this text comes from).
And "current activity" means the current activity instance associated with the slot you are launching a new intent in to. Also if you start the activity in a slot with the same intent as you last used to start it (filterEquals is true), then it should just resume that activity regardless of the launch mode or flags. Well except if you set the CLEAR_TOP flag, which ensures that the activity is restarted. On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 12:21 PM, jotobjects <jotobje...@gmail.com> wrote: > This is a followup question.
