    <p>I am experiencing some weird behavior with an android app I have been working on, here is what happens:</p> <ol> <li>I use the app for a while, works fine without problems</li> <li>I "pause" the app by clicking on the android home button</li> <li>I use some other apps on the phone for a few mins</li> <li>I go back to my app and it seems like its in a very weird state, the FragmentActivity is lost, but the Fragment that was being displayed last it still shown. When i do a call "getActivity()" from the Fragment it returns null which causes problems (because i need a reference back to the FragmentActivity.</li> </ol> <p>Any idea why the FragmentActivity is lost after the app is paused after a while, i assume its some sort of garbage collection issue, but normally wouldn't the whole app be destroyed not just the FragmentActivity?</p> <p>Some things to note:</p> <ol> <li>I am using the compatibility library</li> <li>I am using viewpage indicator (but i dont see this as being anything to do with the issue) - <a href="https://github.com/JakeWharton/Android-ViewPagerIndicator" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/JakeWharton/Android-ViewPagerIndicator</a></li> </ol> <p>Note: i can also reproduce this problem easily when i remove my <code>android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"</code> from the activity element in the manifest and do a orientation change. So i assume its not maintaining state of the views after activity recreation. <code>onSaveInstanceState</code> and <code>onRestoreInstanceState</code> are called ok, and <code>setRetainInstance(true);</code> is set on the fragment so im not sure why this is happening.</p>

    1. COI am currently having this exact problem. did you by any chance find any resolution? I am too using the compatibility library without the ViewPagerIndicator so i think we can rule out the ViewPagerIndicator.

    2. COi did a dodgy workaround a while back because i couldnt figure it out. I just restarted a new activity using the FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flag and finished the current activity in the onRestoreInstanceState method .. i like antonyt method tho .. ill give it a go.

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.
