I was going through the documentation for single instance and was trying out few samples. In one of my sample I have three activities: A->B->C , where B has android:launchMode="singleInstance" in manifest. Activity A and C has default launch mode.
Scenario:
After navigating to C via A and B (i.e A->B->C), back button press from Activity C takes to Activity A (C->A), but back button press from Activity A does not quit the app, rather brings the Activity B to front, then back button press from Activity B quits the app.
Question
Why does Activity B comes to foreground when back button is pressed from Activity A?
Other scenario:
Similarliy, from Activity C if user presses device Home button, and come back the app by long home press, C stays in foreground. But back button press flow takes C-> A -> quits the app. This time Activity B does not come to foreground.
