Hi all, I have an Activity that keeps running after the HOME button is pressed (naturally) and of-course the focus is in the home screen, and when the running process ends i need to restore the focus on that activity...

in more PC expression, i need to maximize the application ;)

Any help is good.

thx in advance.
