Starting another app's activity

If I start another app's activity with an implicit intent, what does the activity back stack look like and why? I found in the docs that 'the activity runs in a separate process' - does this mean the activity is in its own backstack?

I guess it really depends on the flags that you pass in. Try going through the developers for more info.

The backstack would still be your activity. Running in a separate process means that they run in separate Linux processes- that they have memory protection and cannot access each other's variables (they communicate by Bundle, which is passed from one to the other via IPC).
