Programmatically relaunch/recreate an activity?

by

UPDATE: Android SDK 11 added a recreate() method to activities.

I’ve done that by simply reusing the intent that started the activity. Define an intent starterIntent in your class and assign it in onCreate() using starterIntent = getIntent();. Then when you want to restart the activity, call finish(); startActivity(starterIntent);

It isn’t a very elegant solution, but it’s a simple way to restart your activity and force it to reload everything.
