How do get an activity to reload when the user hits the back button in a child activity?

You cannot call onCreate on back key pressed. However you can do one thing that finish your contact picker activity. Override the function onBackPressed in Child activity and start a new Activity there.

– Mark Hosang Jun 23 at 10:17 it will dump stack in ActivityManager. It will be better to finish off the activity so that it doesn't consume user's battery – Sarmad Jun 23 at 10:32.

Override public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { if (keyCode == KeyEvent. KEYCODE_BACK) { moveTaskToBack(false);//this will not allow to go back //Here put your code i. E start new activity but first finish current activity return true; } return super.

OnKeyDown(keyCode, event); }.

Though I geuss I didn't mention what api I was using. Also what about the orignal calling parent activity? – Mark Hosang Jun 23 at 10:19.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
