Bug : Theme.Translucent & FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT

Question

I have an activity with the translucent Theme :

android:theme=\"@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar\"

Also the problem is reproduceable

Answer 1

If we do not set the theme from AndroidManifest.xml, activity block and set the theme before setContentView, in onCreate method in the first translucent activity, the problem is solved, below is the code:

public class TranslucentActivityDemoActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

      this.setTheme(R.style.myTheme);

        setContentView(R.layout.main);

    }

Answer 2

As a workaround not an answer

I have done this:

public class OverlayActivity extends Activity {

   @Override
   protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
       super.onNewIntent(intent);
       // Restart self when attempting to be brought to front
       Intent restartIntent = new Intent(this, OverlayActivity.class);
       startActivity(restartIntent);
       finish();
   }

   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.activity_overlay);
   }
 }

if anyone can give me an answer they win the brucey bonus!
