应用程序销毁后在应用程序中打开相同的活动

Question

I want to open the same activity which the user was using before the app was quit or destroyed. How Can I do that? Please help....

Answer 1

When launched via icon on the home screen, Android will always start the activity with the android.intent.action.MAIN filter in your AndroidManifest.xml, unless the application is already running (in which case it will obviously restore the activity on top of the stack).

To achieve what you described you can simply store the last visible activity in SharedPreferences and have a Dispatcher activity that starts the last activity according to the preferences.

So in every activity you want to re-start automatically:

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

    SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("X", MODE_PRIVATE);
    Editor editor = prefs.edit();
    editor.putString("lastActivity", getClass().getName());
    editor.commit();
}

And a Dispatcher activity similar to the following:

public class Dispatcher extends Activity {

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

        Class<?> activityClass;

        try {
            SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("X", MODE_PRIVATE);
            activityClass = Class.forName(
                prefs.getString("lastActivity", Activity1.class.getName()));
        } catch(ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            activityClass = Activity1.class;
        }

        startActivity(new Intent(this, activityClass));
    }
}

Remarks:

• You could create a base class for the onPause override
• The Dispatcher activity obviously needs to be the android.intent.action.MAIN action
