single instance of an activity in android

android, android-intent

Solution

In general you can use a combination of `Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP`, `Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP`, `Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT` and `Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK` to accomplish what you want. However, which one (or ones) to use depends on the situation you have.

Problem

I know single instance can be achived by setting `android:launchMode="singleInstance"` in menifest file. but i want to do it on run time . I think it can be achived by setting FLAG but not sure witch one.. plzz help me.. thanks in advance.
