pausing and resuming child activities in ActivityGroup

Question

I am making a first try att creating a custom ActivityGroup. I am getting everything working except the activity lifecycle methods of the groups child activities. How can i call the onResume/onPause methods in my child activities when they enter/exit focus?

I know the tabActivity does this but i cannot find how when looking through the code.

Thanks in advance!

I am facing the same problem. I have an ActivityGroup where I spawn the child activities, but my onPause/onResume are not called when I press the back button. – Greyback

Answer 1

i had a similar problem. I think it has to do with how the activitygroup stores history. if you store the views in the arraylist, then the onresume/onpause isn't always called. I solved it by using this implementation instead, which stores activity id's in the arraylist instead of views, and I found that the onresume and onpause were called.
