Question

How do I restart an Android Activity? I tried the following, but the Activity simply quits.

public static void restartActivity(Act         


        

Answer 1

I wonder why no one mentioned Intent.makeRestartActivityTask() which cleanly makes this exact purpose.

Make an Intent that can be used to re-launch an application's task * in its base state.

startActivity(Intent.makeRestartActivityTask(getActivity().getIntent().getComponent()));

This method sets Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK as default flags.
