Android Question Activity not show the layout when called from another

[Pedro Caldeira]

Hello All,
I have the following strange issue.
I an APP that I work in, we have several activities, classes, code modules, etc.
Sometimes, not yet identified, when I call one activity from another using Callsubdelayed, I see the code executing, in the called activity, but it does not show its layout, almost like it opened the activity, but did not execute the Activity_Create sub. But is not always. sometimes it executes all correctly and shows the activity layout, other it doesn't, but in either case I see the code executing in the log window.
Any idea as what might be cause of it ? Should I use StartActivity(called Activity), prior to the Callsub, to force the activity to show ?

Hello, Show how you do it ... The best recommendation for you is to switch to B4Pages, but you probably already know that.

You need to removeallviews then loadlayout.
If the activity already created, callsubdelayed doesn’t create the activity again.

Using CallSubDelayed to interact between activities and services

Until Basic4android v2.00 the way to pass information between activities and services was through process global variables. CallSubDelayed makes it much simpler. It allows you to call a sub in a different service or activity. If the target module is not active, then it will be started...

Yes, I know, but the APP is to extensive and in too many customers to make a new one with B4Pages quickly. I will eventually.

I can't do exactly that, but you gave me an interesting idea. Going to try something of the sort. Thanks
