Android Question How to prevent the second Activity from closing when the Slider is on

[desof]

Hello, I am working on an adaptation of the Erel project of this link
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-xui-imageslider.87128/#content

I find the problem that when calling another activity (StartActivity (Menu)) on some occasions Activity 1 (Main) kills Activity2 (Menu).

It seems that the event that shows the next Slider keeps running and at the end it becomes pop-up.

I tried to put timer1.Enabled = False before calling but it happens anyway.

Sub Button1_Click
    timer1.Enabled=False
    StartActivity (Menu)
End Sub

What can I do to avoid this?

I attach the project

NOTE Sometimes you have to try several times to make this happen.

It doesn't kill the second activity. It only brings the first one to the front.

The problem is in ImageSlider1_GetImage. When the http response arrives it will cause Main activity to start (because of a CallSubDelayed call in HttpJob). The solution is to make the requests from the starter service.

Check the attached example.

In what way can I read all the jpg files that are in a certain remote folder?
I think in this Sub you should do it

Public Sub FindImages (root As String) As ResumableSub
    Dim j As HttpJob
    j.Initialize("", Me)
    j.Download(root)
    Wait For (j) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
    If j.Success Then
        Dim str As String = j.GetString
        Dim rb As RegexBuilder
        rb.Initialize
        rb.AppendEscaped("<img").Append(rb.CharAny).AppendZeroOrMore.AppendEscaped($"src=""$).StartCapture
        rb.AppendAnyBut(Array($"""$)).AppendAtLeastOne.EndCapture.Append(rb.CharQuote)
        Log(rb.Pattern)
        Dim m As Matcher = Regex.Matcher2(rb.Pattern, Regex.MULTILINE, str)
        Do While m.Find
            Dim link As String = m.Group(1)
            If link.StartsWith("http") = False Then
                If link.StartsWith("/") = False Then link = "/" & link
                link = root & link
            End If
            Main.urls.Add(link)
        Loop
    End If
    j.Release
    Return j.Success
End Sub
