2011-06-28 Thread Gustavo Vargas
Ok, I know pointers don't exist in Java, but I was wondering if there is a way to mimic its behavior or any other mechanism that let me keep the reference to an object when my activity restart from a softkill. inside the onCreate of my activity I have something like that: work= new workThread(...
