Re: [android-developers] How can I get the reference to the top (or second top, or any one in the task) activity object
I mean, when we relaunch the application, the page is Login Page. if we press back button, it is Gallery. If we continue pressing back button, it goes to HOME. The whole process seems not clean (or not neat, or not friendly, or weird) to the user, since we do not expect a Gallery page hidden before a Login page.

Again, look at the activity flags - I'm sure there's some combination there that will help you achieve your goal. - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I do not think using default Gallery is not secure. I also use default camera intent in the app. I only need the picture. The picture is not secure: it is in the storage. So this would not be a problem. On Tuesday, July 9, 2013 1:39:59 PM UTC-5, Kristopher Micinski wrote: I guess my point is that if you don't control the app, whose to say it won't steal your data?
