Hi I am trying to understand the interactions among apps, processes, activities, and tasks. After reading 'Application Fundamentals' many times, I wrote a tiny piece of code with three different activities. Here's my manifest file:
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="ABC"> <activity android:name=".AppRootActivity" android:label="App1"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name=".ChildActivityOfRoot" android:label="ChildActivity:ChildOfAppRootActivity"> </activity> <activity android:name=".SingleTaskActivity" android:label="ChildActivity:SingleTaskActivity" android:launchMode="singleTask"> </activity> </application> The AppRootActivity starts ChildActivityOfRoot which in turn starts SingleTaskActivity. Since 'SingleTaskActivity' is marked with 'singleTask' launchMode I expected two different tasks with the following activity sets: Task1 --> AppRootActivity - ChildActivityOfRoot Task2 --> SingleTaskActivity However, I was surprised to see all three activities running in the same task. This doesn't change even if I use Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag in the intent used to activate 'SingleTaskActivity'. I use the getTaskId() to determine the task the activity is running. IMO this behavior is not at all apparent from the documentation. Can someone shed more light?
