I have an Android Wear app that contains an activity with a timer and a view rendered accordingly. When a user swipes right on the activity to get back to the Context Stream a notification appears showing that the App is still counting.
However the user is unable to resume the timer activity from the notification intent because a brand new instance of this activity is launched. I know there is a FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT flag I can add to the intent but because activity is destroyed when the user swipes right on it, this does not work.
How can I properly resume the activity from the notification. I guess I somehow need to prevent it being destroyed on swiping back?
Thanks in advance!
Once you leave the app, your activities will be destroyed, so you will have to save the time you started the timer somewhere (Shared Preferences is a good option), and then read this in when your app is restarted.
