[android-developers] Re: how do I restart my program?

Well, it depends on what you mean by "app". If you mean the applications' process, I'm not sure, but I know you can very easily restart an activity. Here's some pseudocode from the top of my head: finish(); startActivity(new Intent(this, YourActivity.class)); On Jul 9, 2:10 pm, ArcDroid wrote:

How do you know it isn't clickable? Did you try adding an onClick listener? Just because a view is clickable, does NOT mean it will change background colors when clicked. You have to use to change the backgrounds when something is focused, pressed, etc. -Matt On Jul 8, 5:52 am, dxw_es wrote:
