Hi,
For some reason whenever I (try to) start my app the phone decides to launch system settings instead of my "main activity". And yes, I am referring to the "Android system settings", and not something from my app.
This only happens on my phone, and I suppose it probably could be related to the fact that my app had just opened system settings when I decided to re-launch with a new version from Eclipse.
It is possible to start the app from within Eclipse, but when I navigate back from the app it returns to the system settings rather than the home screen, as if the settings activity was started first and then my activity. If I then start the app from the phone all I get is system settings yet again.
The app is listening to the VIEW-action for a specific URL substring, and when I start the app using a matching URL I get the same result as when I start it from Eclipse, app starts, but when I return I return to settings.
I have tried googling for this problem, and all I could find was something about Android saving state when an app gets killed, but without any information on how to
reset this state. I have tried uninstalling the app, killing system settings, rebooting the phone, reinstalling, clearing application data.. no luck..
For what it's worth, here's the definition of my main activity from the manifest,
<activity android:name=".HomeActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:launchMode="singleTop">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
<data android:pathPrefix="/isak-web-mobile/smart/" android:scheme="http" android:host="*"></data>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
And here is the logcat-line from when I try to start my app, nothing about any settings anywhere.
I/ActivityManager( 1301): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10200000 cmp=se.opencare.isak/.HomeActivity }
When I launch from Eclipse I also get this line (as one would expect),
I/ActivityManager( 1301): Start proc se.opencare.isak for activity se.opencare.isak/.HomeActivity: pid=23068 uid=10163 gids={3003, 1007, 1015}
If it matters the phone is a HTC Desire Z running 2.2.1.
Currently, this is my HomeActivity,
public class HomeActivity extends Activity {
public static final String TAG = "HomeActivity";
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
Log.d(TAG, "onActivityResult(" + requestCode + ", " + resultCode + ", " + data + ")");
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate(" + savedInstanceState + ")");
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
Log.d(TAG, "onDestroy()");
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
Log.d(TAG, "onPause()");
super.onPause();
}
@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Log.d(TAG, "onPostCreate(" + savedInstanceState + ")");
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
protected void onPostResume() {
Log.d(TAG, "onPostResume()");
super.onPostResume();
}
@Override
protected void onRestart() {
Log.d(TAG, "onRestart()");
super.onRestart();
}
@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Log.d(TAG, "onRestoreInstanceState(" + savedInstanceState + ")");
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
Log.d(TAG, "onResume()");
super.onResume();
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
Log.d(TAG, "onStart()");
super.onStart();
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
Log.d(TAG, "onStop()");
super.onStop();
}
@Override
protected void onUserLeaveHint() {
Log.d(TAG, "onUserLeaveHint()");
super.onUserLeaveHint();
}
}
Nothing (of the above) is written to the log.
