Problem
For an App I am developing, I want to re-launch the current activity using an intent. So I'm in MainActivity.class and I want to re-launch MainActivity.class using the following: ``` Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class); ``` This calls `onDestroy()` but does not re-launch the activity. Why doesn't this work?
