Is there any way to have one and only one instance of each activity?

Question

I\'m finding that in my application, the user can get quite \'nested\' in the various activities that are opened while the user is using the application.

For example

Answer 1

This worked for me.

Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
startActivity(intent);

If an instance of this Activity already exists, then it will be moved to the front. If an instance does NOT exist, a new instance will be created.
