Maybe my question might seem a bit weird, but I have an activity in which, in one case , I have to move to another activity before it finishes loading the screen. My condition is in the onCreate method, which means when I encounter it, i get a "startActivity called from outside an activity context" error and the app just crashes...
But then, is there an easy way like a flag for the intent to make it work without having the activity context resolved? thanks for any answer
