[DOM85]

Hi,

When my application is run for a second time, i would like to re-activate the last one waiting in memory. Is it possible?
Thanks.

This is will happen by default.

Thank you for your answer.
But i see no software solution to reactivate the sleeping application.

However in your link i understand that while application sleeps, its timers remain active. So, could it be possible to execute a code in a timer that reactivate the application?

You do not need to do anything for your program to continue running in the same process. The OS is responsible for this.

Thank you Erel for your answer.

Do you mean that when i quit my running app by pressing the home button, if run my app a second time, in fact it is the first one that reappears?

If so, the "FirstTime" parameter on Activity_Create is only used to restore data.

Thank for your good help.

Try the following code:

Sub Process_Globals
    Dim StartTime As Long
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    If FirstTime Then StartTime = DateTime.Now
    activity.Title = "I was started " & DateTime.Time (StartTime)   
End Sub

As long as Android does not decide to kill the process, you will see after every start of your app the same time in the title bar.

It depends. The conditions under which your app may or may not start up again where it left off are explained at the link in my previous message.

How to handle the different conditions is also explained there.

I tried your example by displaying time with a msgbox, and you are right !!! Each time i run again my app without leaving the first run, it is the first run that appears!
Thank you!!!
