Hello,
I use the code (below) within Activity_Create to process starting intents stemming from multiple images selected via Gallery app's share menu. I also added intent filters (below) to my manifest file so that my app is visible and 'selectable' from Gallery app's share menu. Everything works fine except that the code below keeps seeing the same starting intent each time Activity_Create() is invoked by successively pausing and resuming of my app. I added a string variable named strStartingIntent (below) to 'strong-arm' a solution, but, I am looking for a more elegant way to reset or clear 'something' within the starting intent so that successive calls to Activity.GetStartingIntent do not keep returning the same intent.
Q1) Can anyone suggest a way to reset or clear 'something' within the starting intent?
Q2) Also, I am aware of the ContentChooser module for single file selections; but, can anyone suggest a B4A module/library that mimics gallery app's functionality that enables multiple file selection via share menu?
Thanks,
Gregg
