{html}", "updateAuthor": { "name": "billdawson", "key": "billdawson", "displayName": "Bill Dawson", "active": true, "timeZone": "Europe/Berlin" }, "created": "2011-04-15T03:06:44.000+0000", "updated": "2011-04-15T03:06:44.000+0000" }, { "id": "127103", "author": { "name": "billdawson", "key": "billdawson", "displayName": "Bill Dawson", "active": true, "timeZone": "Europe/Berlin" }, "body": "{html}

This is caused by Android telling the Activities to restart\nwithout finishing. Our lifecycle implementation can't\ncurrently handle that, and a much bigger ticket will be created for\nthat. In the meantime, to get past the blank screen, we detect this\nand simply restart the app.

\n

In my testing, it actually took several hours to \"fall asleep\",\nso to speak -- i.e, to be in the background long enough for Android\nto tell the activities to restart the next time the user brings the\napplication forward. In order to save testing time, you can\nre-create a failcase and test the fix by doing something else on\nthe device (either emulator or handset) which leads Android to do\nthis special \"restart without finish\" sequence which we were\nfailing to handle. Namely, you can change the language of the\ndevice.

\n

Follow these steps to test:

\n
    \n
  • \n

    Launch Kitchen Sink

    \n
    • \n
  • \n

    After KS loads, press the device Home button to keep Kitchen\nSink running in the background.

    \n
    • \n
  • \n

    Go to Settings - Language and Keyboard (whatever it's called)\nand change the language, i.e., from English to Spanish.

    \n
    • \n
  • \n

    After the language has been changed, press and hold the device's\nHome button to show the list of recently used apps, then select\nKitchenSink. In the failcase you'll get a (mostly) blank screen.\nAfter my changes, the app should simply restart.

Sounds great Bill! How does the detection work?
\nI'm getting a white screen most of the time, so I hope it's got\nnothing to do with colour. ;)

Yeah, I should've said \"blank\". :) It's not related to colour.\nIt simply detects that Android is asking the application's Android\nActivities to destroy & restart without \"finishing\"\n(isFinishing() == false).
