XPrivacy new app notification clicks through to last viewed app, not new app

[Jimmy34742]

Reproduced every time, including 1.10.16:

1. open XPrivacy and click on App1 to view its list of restriction
2. press home button
3. load Play Store app
4. install App2
5. when the install completes, XPrivacy's new app notification correctly displays the App2's name in Notifications
6. press XPrivacy's new app notification for App2
7. XPrivacy opens to the last context, which is the list of restrictions for App1, not App2. XPrivacy's notification is removed

I can reproduce it, but I don't know yet how to fix it.
All fixes in this area resulted in breaking something else (like up navigation) so far.

[Jimmy34742]

It's only a minor inconvenience. But if the user doesn't pay attention and just assumes XPrivacy is showing the new app, restrictions could get altered unintentionally. I've done that more than once. If the bug can't be fixed, maybe it would be better for XPrivacy's new app notification to take the user to the top of XPrivacy and display the progress percentage that shows all the apps loading so that the user can't be misled as to the context.

I've also had XPrivacy FC a few times after pressing its new app notification and then switching apps via some non-stock methods. For example, GMD Gesture Control provides its own running tasks list. If I can find a reproducible pattern to the FC's, I'll post here.

I will fix this somehow.

Could you please check if this version solves the problem and if there are no side effects: http://d-h.st/WMN

[Jimmy34742]

After a couple of tests, the problem looks fixed. I haven't seen any side effects. I should mention I'm still seeing a second instance of XPrivacy in my popup task manager. I didn't mention it before because it's not the Android stock task manager. I don't know if it's relevant now.

I did notice the border around the icons in the app list--looks good. Unfortunately, some apps' icons use up all the pixels so that the border isn't visible.

Thanks for reporting back.

@Jimmy34742 I'm looking into the dual instance of XPrivacy inside Android task switcher problem, must have something to do with all these Activities attributes, I'm getting some clue but I need to ensure I won't break anything. if I find a possible solution, would you like to help me test it out?

[M66B]

@jokies are the dual instances for the same activity?

[ghost]

No. Obviously one is for the .ActivityMain and one is for the .ActivityApp.
The problem is so far all the possible solutions I came up with might affect the Activity life cycle, not like the noHistory attribute.

@jokies
This is normal Android behavior and should not be changed.
You can jump directly to the main application list and the application details view this way.

Ok, but I find it a little weird since not much apps doing so. Besides
that's a little confusing since they both have the "XPrivacy" as title.

That can be improved by adding the application name to the title in the application details view.

[ghost]

Of course you can. Then this is no more considered a problem need to be fixed.

Just to update that if android:excludeFromRecents="true" attribute was added to the .ActivityApp activity inside manifest, it should no more show up inside Android task switcher.

[M66B]

@jokies I don't think we should exclude from recent.

[ghost]

I understand, I just want to help anybody who seek a solution through github search function.
