Process Phoenix

Process Phoenix facilitates restarting your application process.

This should only be used for things like fundamental state changes in your debug builds (e.g., changing from staging to production).

Usage

Start the default activity in a new process:

ProcessPhoenix.triggerRebirth(context);

Or, if you want to launch with a specific Intent:

Intent nextIntent = //...
ProcessPhoenix.triggerRebirth(context, nextIntent);

To check if your application is inside the Phoenix process to skip initialization in onCreate:

if (ProcessPhoenix.isPhoenixProcess(this)) {
  return;
}
