Android singleTop Activity issue

Question

I declared my activity as singleTop in the manifest file. I am passing some value with intent when I launching this activity.

Intent i= new Intent(A.this,MysingleTopActivity.class);
i.putExtra("isActive",true);
startActivity(i);

same steps I am doing for restart activity from class B.

Intent i= new Intent(B.this,MysingleTopActivity.class);
i.putExtra("isActive",false);
startActivity(i);

so for this I am getting call in onNewIntent() method of MysingleTopActivity. with isActive =false.

but if I rotate the screen then onCreate() will call and in that "isActive=true".

how can I retrieve current instance value of that activity?

Thanks

@Parth You need to set the intent inside onNewIntent() method to get updated intent next time — nomag, Oct 12 '17 at 12:53
No i didn't set intent inside onNewIntent() method. I tried with the set intent it worked. Thanks a lot. — Parth, Oct 12 '17 at 12:56

For achieving this result need to add

setIntent(newintent);

in onNewIntent(Intent newintent) {} methold so on rotation of screen newintent will delivered on onCreate();

sample code:

    @Override
    protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
        super.onNewIntent(intent);
        setIntent(intent);
//add your code
}
