open Unit

Called by the container activity in its Activity.onStop so that LocalActivityManager can perform the corresponding action on the activities it holds.
open Activity!

Return the Activity object associated with a string ID.
open Activity!

Retrieve the Activity that is currently running.
open String!

Retrieve the ID of the activity that is currently running.
open Unit

Remove all activities from this LocalActivityManager, performing an Activity.onDestroy on any that are currently instantiated.

Public constructors

LocalActivityManager

Added in API level 1
LocalActivityManager(
    parent: Activity!, 
    singleMode: Boolean)

Create a new LocalActivityManager for holding activities running within the given parent.

Parameters
parent Activity!: the host of the embedded activities
singleMode Boolean: True if the LocalActivityManger should keep a maximum of one activity resumed

Public methods

destroyActivity

Added in API level 1
open fun destroyActivity(
    id: String!, 
    finish: Boolean
): Window!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Destroy the activity associated with a particular id. This activity will go through the normal lifecycle events and fine onDestroy(), and then the id removed from the group.

Parameters
id String!: Unique identifier of the activity to be destroyed
finish Boolean: If true, this activity will be finished, so its id and all state are removed from the group.
Return
Window! Returns the window that was used to display the activity, or null if there was none.

dispatchCreate

Added in API level 1
open fun dispatchCreate(state: Bundle!): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Restore a state that was previously returned by saveInstanceState. This adds to the activity group information about all activity IDs that had previously been saved, even if they have not been started yet, so if the user later navigates to them the correct state will be restored.

Note: This does not change the current running activity, or start whatever activity was previously running when the state was saved. That is up to the client to do, in whatever way it thinks is best.

Parameters
state Bundle!: a previously saved state; does nothing if this is null

dispatchDestroy

Added in API level 1
open fun dispatchDestroy(finishing: Boolean): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Called by the container activity in its Activity.onDestroy so that LocalActivityManager can perform the corresponding action on the activities it holds.

dispatchPause

Added in API level 1
open fun dispatchPause(finishing: Boolean): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Called by the container activity in its Activity.onPause so that LocalActivityManager can perform the corresponding action on the activities it holds.

Parameters
finishing Boolean: set to true if the parent activity has been finished; this can be determined by calling Activity.isFinishing()

dispatchResume

Added in API level 1
open fun dispatchResume(): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Called by the container activity in its Activity.onResume so that LocalActivityManager can perform the corresponding action on the activities it holds.

dispatchStop

Added in API level 1
open fun dispatchStop(): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Called by the container activity in its Activity.onStop so that LocalActivityManager can perform the corresponding action on the activities it holds.

getActivity

Added in API level 1
open fun getActivity(id: String!): Activity!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Return the Activity object associated with a string ID.

Return
Activity! the associated Activity object, or null if the id is unknown or its activity is not currently instantiated

See Also

getCurrentActivity

Added in API level 1
open fun getCurrentActivity(): Activity!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Retrieve the Activity that is currently running.

Return
Activity! the currently running (resumed) Activity, or null if there is not one

getCurrentId

Added in API level 1
open fun getCurrentId(): String!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Retrieve the ID of the activity that is currently running.

Return
String! the ID of the currently running (resumed) Activity, or null if there is not one

removeAllActivities

Added in API level 1
open fun removeAllActivities(): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Remove all activities from this LocalActivityManager, performing an Activity.onDestroy on any that are currently instantiated.

saveInstanceState

Added in API level 1
open fun saveInstanceState(): Bundle!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Retrieve the state of all activities known by the group. For activities that have previously run and are now stopped or finished, the last saved state is used. For the current running activity, its android.app.Activity#onSaveInstanceState is called to retrieve its current state.

Return
Bundle! a Bundle holding the newly created state of all known activities

See Also

startActivity

Added in API level 1
open fun startActivity(
    id: String!, 
    intent: Intent!
): Window!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Start a new activity running in the group. Every activity you start must have a unique string ID associated with it -- this is used to keep track of the activity, so that if you later call startActivity() again on it the same activity object will be retained.

When there had previously been an activity started under this id, it may either be destroyed and a new one started, or the current one re-used, based on these conditions, in order:

  • If the Intent maps to a different activity component than is currently running, the current activity is finished and a new one started.
  • If the current activity uses a non-multiple launch mode (such as singleTop), or the Intent has the Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP flag set, then the current activity will remain running and its Activity.onNewIntent() method called.
  • If the new Intent is the same (excluding extras) as the previous one, and the new Intent does not have the Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP set, then the current activity will remain running as-is.
  • Otherwise, the current activity will be finished and a new one started.

If the given Intent can not be resolved to an available Activity, this method throws android.content.ActivityNotFoundException.

Warning: There is an issue where, if the Intent does not include an explicit component, we can restore the state for a different activity class than was previously running when the state was saved (if the set of available activities changes between those points).

Parameters
id String!: Unique identifier of the activity to be started
intent Intent!: The Intent describing the activity to be started
Return
Window! Returns the window of the activity. The caller needs to take care of adding this window to a view hierarchy, and likewise dealing with removing the old window if the activity has changed.
Exceptions
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException
