Kuan Yi Ming updated CB-3949:
-----------------------------
Description:
If installing an app via sideloading on Android and opening it immediately
after install via package installer, going through several pages, then pressing
Home and later resuming the app later via opening the app from the may break
the page sequence by creating a new CordovaActivity instance on top of the
previous one.
Tested on a Galaxy Nexus, Android 4.2
Steps to replicate:
# Copy attached APK over to phone storage and install it.
# Click 'Open' when the package installer has installed the app, instead of
clicking 'Done'
# Press the button in index.html to open the next page.
# Press Home to pause the app, then reopen the app from the app drawer (not the
Recent Apps list).
# The app will relaunch as if it were a new activity instance (showing
splashscreen again if configured, and adds index.html to the page sequence,
instead of returning to where the user last was)
# Pressing back at this index page closes the new CordovaActivity and returns
to the second page from the previous activity.
These steps can't be replicated if the app was originally opened in the app
drawer, a shortcut in the homescreen, or launched via Eclipse's Run button.
Some bugs filed on Android's issue tracker suggest this can happen by clicking
'Open' on apps freshly installed from the Play Store too.
This probably is an Android issue with the package installer (probably due to
the package installer calling a non-standard intent) and not PhoneGap, but
appears to be fixed by using singleTop as the activity launch mode, or adding
code before calling super.loadUrl() in the activity to check for Intent
anomalies:
{code:java}
Intent intent = getIntent();
String intentAction = intent.getAction();
if (!isTaskRoot() && intent.hasCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER) &&
intentAction != null) {
if(intentAction.equals(Intent.ACTION_MAIN)) {
Log.d("Cordova", "This isn't the root activity. Clearing it
and returning to the root activity.");
finish();
return;
}
}
{code}
