2 instances of the app opening

Andrei_Baburin · June 13, 2021, 12:24am

Hi!

The issue:
When the app is playing in the background, if I press app icon in launcher, it opens one more instance of the app instead of going to the already running app. How to get rid of it?

Thanks!

You need to specify activity/screen’s launch mode as singleTask.

Andrei_Baburin · June 13, 2021, 12:41am

Thank you! Do I do it by editing manifest?

Andrei_Baburin · June 13, 2021, 12:58am

I know nothing about changing the manifest file. Right now I have “ManifestCode” by Atom, which was required for correct AI2 media notification working. How do I change it by adding android:launchMode=“singleTop” to it?

hammerhai · June 13, 2021, 1:05am

Oh, that’s not gonna help you. That’s for adding things to the manifest, not really modifying them.

Andrei_Baburin · June 13, 2021, 1:07am

Anyway, how do I add android:launchMode="singleTop"
to the manifest that is already there?

hammerhai · June 13, 2021, 1:08am

Search the community for how to modify the manifest.

vknow360 · June 13, 2021, 1:14am

SingleTop != SingleTask

Andrei_Baburin · June 13, 2021, 1:22am

Oh, you mean there is error in typo, thank you!

Andrei_Baburin · June 13, 2021, 1:27am

Modified manifest in manifestgenerator by Atom. It didn’t work. Still opening one more instance, by clicking at app icon in launcher or in notification…

vknow360 · June 13, 2021, 1:58am

I wonder when I suggested you to use that.

Andrei_Baburin · June 13, 2021, 2:00am

Sorry for being noobish, I keep on learning.
Just modified manifest.xml in APK editor studio.
Still no success…

vknow360 · June 13, 2021, 2:00am

Can you show how it looks now?

I wrote singleTop instead of singleTask, because there is so: How to prevent the app from restarting when I touch the experimental notification component? - #2 by lc_rossil

vknow360 · June 13, 2021, 2:04am

It is not a permission.

You were supposed to add that here.

Andrei_Baburin · June 13, 2021, 2:08am

Oh, thank you, Sunny Gupta! Will check it right away.

Andrei_Baburin · June 13, 2021, 2:11am

Hm… Now the app refuses to install.

Then try with singleTask.
