How to restart Activity in Android
android, android-activity
Solution
I did my theme switcher like this:
Intent intent = getIntent();
finish();
startActivity(intent);
Basically, I'm calling `finish()` first, and I'm using the exact same intent this activity was started with. That seems to do the trick?
UPDATE: As pointed out by Ralf below, `Activity.recreate()` is the way to go in API 11 and beyond. This is preferable if you're in an API11+ environment. You can still check the current version and call the code snippet above if you're in API 10 or below. (Please don't forget to upvote Ralf's answer!)
Problem
How do I restart an Android `Activity`? I tried the following, but the `Activity` simply quits. ``` public static void restartActivity(Activity act){ Intent intent=new Intent(); intent.setClass(act, act.getClass()); act.startActivity(intent); act.finish(); } ```
