Activities - more info required

[CanelaKid]

Point 1 - When starting a second activity within Main.Activity_Create, Main.Activity_Resume seems to be called before Main.Activity_Pause.
Is this correct?

Point 2 - In the code below Activity_Resume is first called when 'ExitApp' = -1, as you can see from the logs other code from this Activity (incl. DBopen which adds more logs - 'Must Have') seems to be executed BEFORE the second Activity 'zAppReg' is created. Note, however, if I uncomment the msgbox all seems to follow the order I would expect.

Sub Activity_Resume
Try
If ExitApp = -1 Then StartActivity("zAppReg")
If ExitApp = 0 Then ExitApplication
Log("How Come?")
'Msgbox("After Reg","")
zDBmanager.DBopen ' Open DB if not already open
Activity.LoadLayout(App(0))
If File.Exists(zDBmanager.DBlocation,zDBmanager.DBname) Then
Msgbox("Created","")
Else
Msgbox("Not Created","")
End If
Catch
Alert("Resume Problem",0)
End Try
Return
End Sub

Associated runtime logs -
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
How Come?
Must Have
Must Have2
Must Have3
Must Have4
Must Have5
Must Have6
Must Have7
Must Have8
Must Have9
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **
** Activity (zappreg) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (zappreg) Resume **

Maybe I still don't understand the ins and outs of the activities. Thoughts anyone?

No, it is not correct. The current activity is first paused and then the second activity is resumed (and first created if needed).

Point 2

When you call StartActivity a message is sent to the message queue with this instruction. The message is only processed when your current code finishes executing. It doesn't happen immediately.

Thanks Erel

Your explanation of Point 2 probably also accounts for my assumptions in point 1
Now I am aware of that I can work with it no problem. Thanks again
