Re: [android-developers] onSaveInstanceState problem while making oAuth request

2010-12-12 Thread Dianne Hackborn 
You really haven't posted enough to help, but if you are starting an
activity you can pretty much count on onSaveInstanceState() being called
before the next one even starts.  Of course you can do things to prevent
this, such as calling finish() so your state won't need to be saved, using
certain Intent flags that also have the result of finishing your activity,
etc.

You may also be having a new instance of your activity created instead of
returning to the original one.  But again, there is not enough information
here to determine that.

Do look at logcat output while you are running, as that will have messages
about activities being started and other interesting things.  You can also
use "adb shell dumpsys activity" at any time to see all activity stacks.

[android-developers] onSaveInstanceState problem while making oAuth request

2010-12-11 Thread bobetko 
In my app at some point I am making oAuth request to authorize user
with Twitter. App opens WebView in which user enter his credentials.
Upon user pressing "Allow" button, twitter sends Intent (which
contains token and secret) back to my app so user can start when he/
she left of. The problem is my Activity has RowID (very important to
know which record is currently active) that get lost RowID is
parameter that my activity receives through Intent in onCreate event.

I've checked, onSaveIstanceState is not executed, so when my Activity
gets control back, my RowID doesn't exist.
When my Activity receives Intent from Twitter, it is handled in
onResme event. I assume, here I should somehow obtain my RowID
What would be good way to remember my RowID and to be able to pull it
back?

In my manifest I had to enter following for my Activity in order to be
able to get control back:







Any Suggestions. Thanks.
