I need to call activity with different launchMode
according to my app state. In one case it should be singleInstance
, in other - singleTask
. I know how to set launchMode
in AndroidManifest, but since it should be dynamic property I have to do it from code. I thought, that I can add some specific flag to intent, before starting activity, but I found only singleTop
flag. So is any way to solve this issue?
Thanks
In my case I need two different launchMode related to different android API level: in AndroidManifest
android:launchMode="@integer/launchModeAPIlevel"
and different integers value inside folders values-18, values-21
<integer name="launchModeAPIlevel">1</integer>
launchmode 1 == singleTop singleTask == 2
After some investigations I've noticed that it is impossible to do that in such way. But good news is that i've got some workaround:
You have to create two Activities
, each with corresponding launchModes.
One Activity
is real Activity
with your code inside, and another one will just call main Activity
in onCreate()
method, but since it will have needed launchMode, main Activity
will be launched with that mode. Not very nice, but completely working solution.
After that, instead of trying open your Activity
with intent flags, put in intent class
of the Activity
according to launchMode you need.
