ActivityTwo.java did not count

Question

Hello my source code down below ;

This is ActiviyOne.java

        mTvResume.setText("onResume() calls: " + mResume);
        mTvRestart.setText("onRestart() calls: " + mRestart);
    }
}

I have a problem. When i run the program I want the count how many times I called

onCreate(), onStart(), onResume(), onResume() it works for activity one ,but not works in activity 2. Counter not working.

Thanks

Answer 1

1) Activity1 state is saved on stack -> when you call Activity2.

2) When click back Activity2 state is saved and then destroyed (removed from stack).

3) Activity1 read saved state from stack.

Try this [Activity 1]:

 launchActivityTwoButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                    Intent StartIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ActivityTwo.class);
    StartIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
    startActivity(StartIntent);
            }
        });

[Activity 2]:

 closeButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
               Intent intent= new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ActivityOne.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
startActivity(intent);
            }
        });
