Setting launchMode=“singleTask” vs setting activity launchMode=“singleTop”

Question

I have an app that is very hierarchical (activities are similar to League > Team > Position > Player) and so I\'ve made each activity singleTop in order to keep

Answer 1

I think your definition of singleTop and singleTask is a little off. SingleTop could produce a duplicate instance. Lets use your example, League > Team > Position > Player. If there is a button in the player screen that will take you to the league screen, it will become League > Team > Position > Player > League.

Whereas singleTask guarantees that only one instance of the activity can exist.
