Guillaume, This is a really excellent question and there's a document written to cover the application model that talks about tasks that you can read at http://code.google.com/android/intro/appmodel.html . After looking over over that, please come back with any specific questions you have.
In terms of launch modes and Intent flags, remember, most of the time, the default behavior is what you want. Try without setting launch modes or flags and only then if it doesn't work as you want, start worrying about these things.

Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 08:17:45 -0700 (PDT) In several parts of the API is mentioned the term "task": * the singleTask activity launch mode, * a flag to use with intent, * other activity manifest flags * getTaskID in Activity * ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo and so on... I checked the documentation but I didn't found any clear definition of what is exactly a task. I have several issues with relaunching activities with the desired state and onNewIntent not called and I think it's because I don't understand what is a task and how to manage this... Someone can provide a definition a task and how to manage them ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
