How to run activity without showing it?


I have an activity (A) and activity (B). A is responsible for loading information, and B is the main activity. In B there are also loading operations which are realted to the UI (listeners, for example). I want to show activity A, and run activity B, but I want that B will be shown only when the loading (of B) was finished (I have a ProgressDialog in A). How can I do this? Thanks!

You can use Fragments to achieve what you want!
http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html
Cit: "However, a fragment is not required to be a part of the activity layout; you may also use a fragment without its own UI as an invisible worker for the activity."
If you use the support library you dont have to worry about your SDK target.

It sounds to me that the tasks of A are more suitable to a thread than an Activity.

This seems more of an architecture problem. You might want to reconsider using two activities. You can use AsyncTask in a single activity to do this.
