I have an app that so far consists of two Activities:
The Main Menu Activity.
The Game Activity
The Main Menu Activity contains a button that starts
the Game Activity with
the following code:
public void onClick(View clickedButton)
{
switch(clickedButton.getId())
{
case R.id.buttonPlay:
Intent i = new Intent("apple.
banana.BouncingBallActivity");
startActivity(i);
break;
}
When
the user is done with
the Game Activity, he presses
the back button. This calls
the onPause() method first, which pauses
the animation thread of
the game. It then calls
the onStop() which calls finish() on
the activity altogether.
The user is returned to
the Main Menu activity.
The code is outlined below:
public class BouncingBallActivity extends Activity{
private BouncingBallView bouncingBallView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
bouncingBallView = new BouncingBallView(this);
bouncingBallView.resume();
setContentView(bouncingBallView);
}
@Override
protected void onPause()
{
super.onPause();
bouncingBallView.pause();
}
@Override
protected void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
bouncingBallView.resume();
}
@Override
protected void onStop()
{
super.onStop();
this.finish();
}
}
The problem is that this only works if I launch
the application from Eclipse.
When I click on
the app icon,
the game starts from
the Game Activity.
The main menu activity does not appear.
I am not clear about why this happens. It could be something to do with
the manifest. I've pasted
the relevant portions below:
<application
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".BouncingBallActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="landscape" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="apple.
banana.BouncingBallActivity" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainMenu"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
I'd really appreciate any help with this. Thanks.
