    <p>Bit of a confusing problem for me here:</p> <p>I've got a home screen widget which, when clicked, starts my main app Activity with a few extras put in the intent:</p> <pre><code>Intent start = new Intent(context, Main.class); start.putExtra("action", "showXYZ"); start.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); context.startActivity(start); </code></pre> <p>This all works fine, it starts my activity and my activity receives the extras as expected. It processes these extras and starts another activity.</p> <p>Once a user has clicked the home screen widget and started the Main activity in this way, going into the app through the 'Recent applications' method (holding down the 'home' key) starts the Main activity with the extras - causing processing to happen which I don't want (and leading to the second activity to open, rather than for the Main activity to just be shown).</p> <p>Is there any work-around for this? When starting the app from the 'recent applications' method, I want to simply start the Main activity without the last set of extras.</p> <p>Many thanks for the help! r3mo</p> <p>Note: I'm on android 1.5</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Found a workaround here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3140072/android-keeps-caching-my-intents-extras-how-to-declare-a-pending-intent-that-kee">Android keeps caching my intents Extras, how to declare a pending intent that keeps fresh extras?</a></p> <p>I'm going to timestamp the intent being set off by the widget, and check that the timestamp is recent in Main.java. If it is, i'll proceed with the processing. If not, i'll just show the Main.java activity.</p> <p>Keen to hear if there are any official solutions to this.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
