  4. now Navigate in you application and go to any other screen, like on 2nd screen, 3rd screen.
  5. Now, Press Home and put application in background (means put in pause sate).
  6. Now go to list of application Click on Launcher Icon of same application.

I have some logs..

• Clicking on "Open" button logs :

10-04 21:45:28.703: INFO/ActivityManager(243): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.test/.TestnewversionActivity } from pid 15146.

"See no category added in intent above"

• Clicking on "Launcher" Icon’s logs :

10-04 21:46:46.109: INFO/ActivityManager(243): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.test/.TestnewversionActivity } from pid 428

"See category added in intent above".

If some one tell me how to Resolve this or tell how to add category as android.intent.category.LAUNCHER on "Open" button click then problem will resolve.

I have tried to add category in intent on app start, oncreate and many places. intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"); Also tried to work with IntentFilter, PackageManager.

This issue is in every Android phone.

I have taken Logs on HTC-SENSE Android version 2.3.3

Answer 1

please add code to onCreate

if (isTaskRoot()) {
    final Intent intent = getIntent();
    final String intentAction = intent.getAction();
    if (!intent.hasCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER) &&
            intentAction != null && intentAction.equals(Intent.ACTION_MAIN)) {
        finish();
        System.exit(0);
    }
}
