Android activity recreate itself

Android activity recreate itself


My app normally works just fine, until I face a strange problem on specific device. There are 2 activities in App. After I start ActivityB inside of ActivityA, ActivityA starts with no issue. However, after I go back to the ActivityA with pushing back hardware button or calling finish(); inside of closeButton in ActivityB, ActivityA reloads itself. It triggers onCreate() again and reloads all its contents. And I'm not changing orientation of phone. This strange behavior only appears in 15 phones over 1.000 download of app.

This problem only occurs on Galaxy S3 Android OS 4.1.2. And this is also strange.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?

When I start a new Activity inside of button listener like this:

ActivityA.java (MesajlarListViewActivity)

    public class MesajlarListViewActivity extends TrackedActivity {        Context context = null;        // contacts JSONArray      JSONArray contacts = null;        ArrayList productArray = new ArrayList();        private ProductAdapter adapter;      private ListView productList;      private Runnable viewOrders;      private HoloProgressIndicator profilInfoProgress = null;        ImageView kapatButton = null;        @Override      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)      {          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);          setContentView(R.layout.mesajlar_list);            context = this;            kapatButton = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.kapat_button);          /* kapat button onclick listener. */          // =================================================================================================================          kapatButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {              public void onClick(View view)              {                  // Set vibration on touch.                  KnetGenericClass.vibratePhone(context);                    finish();              }            });          // =================================================================================================================          //Progress bar.          profilInfoProgress = (HoloProgressIndicator) findViewById(R.id.profil_info_progress);            // cheking internet connectivity.          if(KnetGenericClass.checkInternetConnection(context))          {              // start task!              /* internet var ise web service baglantisi kurmaya baslayabiliriz. */              startActivityIndicatorWithThread();          }          else          {              KnetGenericClass.printErrorMessage(context, "Ba?lant?

Edit: Not only these two activities have this problem, all the activities acting same behavior on some phones.

Answer by Mads Frandsen for Android activity recreate itself


The Activity documentation (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html) says the following about the lifecycle of a background activity:

A background activity (an activity that is not visible to the user and has been paused) is no longer critical, so the system may safely kill its process to reclaim memory for other foreground or visible processes. If its process needs to be killed, when the user navigates back to the activity (making it visible on the screen again), its onCreate(Bundle) method will be called with the savedInstanceState it had previously supplied in onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) so that it can restart itself in the same state as the user last left it.

In other words, ActivityA may or may not be destroyed by the operating system while ActivityB is active, so this situation has to be handled in the code. If ActivityA has been destroyed, onCreate(Bundle) will be called, when the user presses the back button in ActivityB.

Answer by Innovator-z for Android activity recreate itself


Perhaps you should use

Intent startIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), ActivityB.class);   startActivity(startIntent);   finish() ;  

And

Intent startIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), ActivityA.class);   startActivity(startIntent);   finish() ;  

each time you go back or forward.

Answer by Phil for Android activity recreate itself


Have you tried changing the launchmode in the Android Manifest? Try adding this to your Activity declaration:

android:launchMode="singleTask"  

Next, try using startActivityForResult, instead of startActivity. This will force Activity A to call its onActivityResult(int, int, Intent) method when Activity B finishes - which may skip this (buggy) call to onCreate. Then, in Activity A, implement the method to do something (such as printing a debug statement):

@Override  protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)  {      Log.i("Test", "Did this work???");      //TODO send notification to your server to verify this works?  }  

Answer by Avadhani Y for Android activity recreate itself


It too faced the exact problem and solved issue by Using android:launchMode="standard" in activity of manifest.

Answer by MasterGaurav for Android activity recreate itself


I do not see any problem in this behaviour.

In case you wish to preserve the state of ActivityA, make use of the methods onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState. See Activity Lifecycle at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#ActivityLifecycle for more details.

See also http://stackoverflow.com/a/10492967/332210 for a deeper understanding.

Answer by Shiv for Android activity recreate itself


You can try one thing provide your layout in onCreate() and do the rest of the work in onStart() ?? if it works??

LIKE:

 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);      setContentView(R.layout.show);     }  

and

      @Override         protected void onStart() {         // TODO Auto-generated method stub      super.onStart();      Log.i(TAG, "On Start .....");          }  

See Activity Lifecycle enter image description here

Answer by Dinesh Prajapati for Android activity recreate itself


Override onStart() and onResume method in Activity A and check if the problem is still persist. and if possible please give your activtiy A and B code here.

Answer by Neil Townsend for Android activity recreate itself


Activity A uses layout R.layout.mesajlar_list

Activity B uses layout R.layout.mesajdetaylari

But both have the following line of code:

kapatButton = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.kapat_button);  

Which layout is R.id.kapat_button in? Using the same id in different layouts is a very risky thing to do. I can't guarantee it's causing what you're seeing, but it is the sort of thing that may cause weird behaviour.

Answer by Joe for Android activity recreate itself


Check to see whether Don't keep activities under Settings > System > Developer options > Apps is enabled or not.

Answer by j__m for Android activity recreate itself


There's an Android developer setting called "Do not keep activities". The description for this option is "Destroy every activity as soon as the user leaves it." This sounds like a good description of what you're seeing, and since you're only seeing it on a few phones the idea that this is caused by a non-default system setting seems plausible.

Ideally your app would still work in this scenario, even if less optimally. But if this setting is a problem for your app, you may wish to document this problem for your users.

Answer by umesh for Android activity recreate itself


I think it is not because of memory the limit.

https://www.box.com/s/7pd0as03bb8wwumuc9l9

You should test these two activities and check whether it is happening in this example too or not. Please share your AndroidManifest.xml file content too, it will help with debugging.

Answer by Fuong Lee for Android activity recreate itself


I got this issue recently, and this make me annoyed. I think that issue around 2 options solution to check but useless.

About the setting "Don't keep activities" corrected here, I used this code to check that it optional checked or not (my test device customize base on version 2.3.5 and not show this option):

private boolean isAlwaysFinishActivitiesOptionEnabled() {      int alwaysFinishActivitiesInt = 0;      if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 17) {          alwaysFinishActivitiesInt = Settings.System.getInt(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), Settings.Global.ALWAYS_FINISH_ACTIVITIES, 0);      } else {          alwaysFinishActivitiesInt = Settings.System.getInt(getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), Settings.System.ALWAYS_FINISH_ACTIVITIES, 0);      }        if (alwaysFinishActivitiesInt == 1) {          return true;      } else {          return false;      }  }  

Result check is false in my case. I also check the memory when running application and it nothing occur.
