Body
<p>There's a situation I have that's related to the Activity stack but I'm new enough to Android dev to not now how to respond to it.</p> <p>I have an application that works like a stopwatch. When you start it, an ongoing notification goes in the notification tray and remains ongoing until you stop the stopwatch. I've noticed that if my stopwatch is running in the foreground, and I touch the notification, it creates a new instance of my stopwatch's activity and slides the old one off screen. This creates problems with the back button (you press back and the new instance goes away to reveal the old instance). It makes sense why this happens, but I don't want it to happen like this. What can I do to prevent multiple instances of my application from running?</p>

1. COYou should employ the DRY principle when asking a question. I don't think there is a need to put "[Android]" in your question, when you tag it with the android tag.

Guidance

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.
