Apps Activity A --> B --> Camera ==> Crash on moving back to A

[vikas.patel]

Hello all,

I've use case like following.
A(startActivityForResult) --> B (startActivityForResult) --> opens camera and take picture, returns picture to B

I successfully get captured picture in activity B.
Now from B --> A it re-creates activity A rather than awaking A's onResume() method. As n when picture is captured by camera, activity A is died.

In emulator it works but on device it crashed while going back.

I think once our application is hidden by external intent (camera application) it stops and recreate once comes in forground.

Please clear me about this flow and what can be solution for this...

Thanx.

Android may or may not be killing the Activity based on if it has enough memory or not. This may be why it works on the emulator and not your phone.

With that being said, if it is being killed then when it is called again, the onCreate() get's called, and then onResume(). If the Activity hasn't been killed, then onCreate() gets skipped and only onResume() gets called.

Hope that makes sense, and helps you out!
