How to restart Activity in Android

Question

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

public static void restartActivity(Act

The solution for your question is:

public static void restartActivity(Activity act){
    Intent intent=new Intent();
    intent.setClass(act, act.getClass());
    ((Activity)act).startActivity(intent);
    ((Activity)act).finish();
}

You need to cast to activity context to start new activity and as well as to finish the current activity.

Hope this helpful..and works for me.
