Java Question Calling super on onNewIntent

[thedesolatesoul]

Hi,
On looking at the B4A compiler generated Java code for an activity I found:

    @Override
    public void onNewIntent(android.content.Intent intent) {
        this.setIntent(intent);
    }

I have a library that requires me to extend the activity from another class, and also requires me to call:

super.onNewIntent(intent)

But unfortunately I cannot see a way around it.

So, as an alternative solution,
is Activity_Resume always called on receipt of a new Intent, even if the activity is not paused? Maybe I can use that and GetStartingIntent?

Or is there any other way?

You can use:

@Override public void onNewIntent(android.content.Intent intent) {
 super.onNetIntent(intent)
 this.setIntent(intent);
 }

Hi Erel,
Basically this is an activity that is using #Extends to extend another activity (TooleapActivities.Activity).
But it is the B4A compiler that generates the code mentioned above, it is not in a java wrapper.
I am not sure how to call super from B4A code?
Thanks.

You are correct. The code I posted is not relevant.

BTW, I consider their design a mistake. They shouldn't force you to subclass activity (at least they should provide another more general API).

I will add the call to super in v3.80 stable version.

OK, thank you very much.
I believe their thinking of forcing to subclass the activity is that they want to make it work with existing activities with minimal change. This way you can use the activity normally as well as with their modifications (i.e. in two modes).
I agree, there should also provide a general API as well, then I could have called it from Activity_Resume.
