Activity minimize in android

Question

Im working on offline login based application using SQLite. For the purpose of security i need to move to login activity if the app has minimized. i tried this code in onPause function

@Override
protected void onPause() {

    Intent intent = new Intent(dashboard.this, login.class);
    startActivity(intent);
    finish();

    super.onPause();
}  

when i try to move from that activity to another also it moves to the login activity. i hope when im moving to another activity current activity is set to paused. that's why it moves to login activity.

Answer 1

you must set a Boolean to handle loginActivity:

boolean mustGoToLoginActivity=true;

when you want to go to another Activity first set this boolean to false for example:

public void goToAnotherActivity() {
      mustGoToLoginActivity=false;
      //...
      startActivity(anotherActivity);
}

and in onResume() method set it to true. Then in onPause() method:

@Override
protected void onPause() {

    if(mustGoToLoginActivity){
       Intent intent = new Intent(dashboard.this, login.class);
       startActivity(intent);
       finish();
    }

    super.onPause();
}
