通过单击应用程序图标打开Android应用程序

Question

I am new to the Android development world and I've built a simple "Hello World" app. First, activity requests a text. When the "Go" button is clicked, the app launches the second activity displaying the input text.

If I click the HOME button and then click the application icon, the app launches the first activity again but if I press-hold the home button and click the icon from the "Recent apps" bar, it resumes the app where I left.

How do I avoid this?

I need my app to resume even if the launcher icon is clicked.

MainActivity.java,

package com.example.myfirstandroidapp;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.example.myfirstapp.MESSAGE";
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  }

  @Override
  public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
  }
  /** Called when the user clicks the Send button */
  public void sendMessage(View view){
    // Do something in response to button
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
    EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtName);
    String message = editText.getText().toString();
    intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
    startActivity(intent);
  }
}

DisplayActivity.java,

package com.example.myfirstandroidapp;

import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class DisplayMessageActivity extends Activity {

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Get the message from the intent
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    String message = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_MESSAGE);

    // Create the text view
    TextView textView = new TextView(this);
    textView.setTextSize(40);
    textView.setText(message);

    // Set the text view as the activity layout
    setContentView(textView);

    // Show the Up button in the action bar.
    setupActionBar();
  }

  /**
   * Set up the {@link android.app.ActionBar}, if the API is available.
   */
  @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
  private void setupActionBar() {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
      getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    }
  }

  @Override
  public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.display_message, menu);
    return true;
  }

  @Override
  public void onDestroy(){
    super.onDestroy();
  }

  @Override
  public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case android.R.id.home:
      // This ID represents the Home or Up button. In the case of this
      // activity, the Up button is shown. Use NavUtils to allow users
      // to navigate up one level in the application structure. For
      // more details, see the Navigation pattern on Android Design:
      //
      // http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation.html#up-vs-back
      //
      NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);
      return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
  }

Problem:

I'm not qualified to say this a bug, but there is a behaviour with release builds when starting the application from the launcher. It seems that instead of resuming the previous Activity, it adds a new Activity on top. There is a related bug report on this topic here .

Solution:

I'm working around this this by closing the Launcher Activity if it's not the root of the task, as a result the previous Activity in that task will be resumed.

if (!isTaskRoot()) {
    finish();
    return;
}
