[android-developers] Re: How to intercept when the application is brought to foregroud from background

Hi Mark,
Thanks for validating our approach.

"If you are called with onResume() and not onCreate(), you are coming
back onto the screen after having not been on the screen."....

There are 2 possibilities,
1. you come back to the same screen (activity) due to the application
flow. Navigate to other activities and come back to it due to
application functionality.
2. you come back after you navigate away to another application.

Is there a way to recognize this using the application attributes or
context attributes.

Regards
Hari
