Abstract

A control method includes building at least two stacks for an app, and managing the Activity components based on the at least two stacks.

Claims

1. A control method comprising:

building, through a processor of an electronic device, a main stack corresponding to an app, the app including a plurality of Activity components;

in response to determining that indication information of a first Activity component of the plurality of Activity components satisfies a preset rule, building, through the processor, a secondary stack for the first Activity component, wherein;

the indication information includes information of the app and information of the first Activity component, and

the preset rule indicates candidate Activity components corresponding to the secondary stack independent of the main stack; and

managing, through the processor, the plurality of Activity components based on at least two stacks including the main stack and the secondary stack.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein building the main stack corresponding to the app includes:

determining, through the processor, whether indication information of a second Activity component of the plurality of Activity components satisfies the preset rule; and

building, through the processor, the main stack corresponding to the app in response to determining that the indication information of the second Activity component does not satisfy the preset rule.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein building the secondary stack for the first Activity component includes:

determining, through the processor, whether the indication information of the first Activity component satisfies the preset rule.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein managing the Activity components based on the at least two stacks includes:

obtaining, through the processor, a third Activity component of the plurality of Activity components; and

determining, through the processor, whether to push the third Activity component onto the main stack corresponding to the app or the secondary stack based on a boot source of the third Activity component and the preset rule.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining, through the processor, whether to build the main stack corresponding to the app or the secondary stack based on a boot source of one Activity component of the plurality of Activity components and preset rule.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein managing the Activity components based on the at least two stacks includes:

obtaining, through the processor, a third Activity component of the plurality of Activity components; and

determining, through the processor, to push the third Activity component onto a stack top of the secondary stack based on a boot source of the third Activity component and the preset rule.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein managing the Activity components based on the at least two stacks includes:

closing, through the processor, the secondary stack of the app in response to determining that no Activity component is in the secondary stack.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein:

the app includes the main stack corresponding to the app and the secondary stack, and

managing the plurality of Activity components based on the at least two stacks includes responding, using one of the main stack or the secondary stack that has a latest action, to a boot instruction generated by operating an icon of the app.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein:

the app includes the main stack corresponding to the app and the secondary stack, and

managing the plurality of Activity components based on the at least two stacks includes responding, using one of the main stack or the secondary stack that is not a current stack, to a switch instruction generated by a switch control displayed on a current window of the app.

10. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining, through the processor and based on an Activity Manager Service, the first Activity component of the app that is triggered and generated by an operation on the app.

11. An electronic device comprising:

a memory storing a computer program; and

a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor executes the computer program to;

build a main stack corresponding to an app, the app including a plurality of Activity components;

in response to determining that indication information of a first Activity component of the plurality of Activity components satisfies a preset rule, build a secondary stack for the first Activity component, wherein;

the indication information includes information of the app and information of the first Activity component, and

the preset rule indicates candidate Activity components corresponding to the secondary stack independent of the main stack; and

manage the plurality of Activity components based on at least two stacks including the main stack and the secondary stack.

12. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein the processor further executes the computer program to:

determine whether indication information of a second Activity component of the plurality of Activity components satisfies the preset rule; and

build the main stack corresponding to the app in response to determining that the indication information of the second Activity component does not satisfy the preset rule.

13. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein the processor further executes the computer program to:

determine whether the indication information of the first Activity component satisfies the preset rule.

14. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein the processor further executes the computer program to:

obtain a third Activity component of the plurality of Activity components; and

determine whether to push the third Activity component onto the main stack corresponding to the app or the secondary stack based on a boot source of the third Activity component and the preset rule.

15. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein the processor further executes the computer program to:

determine whether to build the main stack corresponding to the app or the secondary stack based on a boot source of one Activity component of the plurality of Activity components and the preset rule.

16. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein the processor further executes the computer program to:

obtain a third Activity component of the plurality of Activity components; and

determine to push the third Activity component onto a stack top of the secondary stack based on a boot source of the third Activity component and the preset rule.

17. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein the processor further executes the computer program to:

close the secondary stack of the app in response to determining that no Activity component is in the secondary stack.

18. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein:

the app includes the main stack corresponding to the app and the secondary stack, and

the processor further executes the computer program to respond, using one of the main stack or the secondary stack that has a latest action, to a boot instruction generated by operating an icon of the app.

19. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein:

the app includes the main stack corresponding to the app and the secondary stack, and

the processor further executes the computer program to respond, using one of the main stack or the secondary stack that is not a current stack, to a switch instruction generated by a switch control displayed on a current window of the app.

20. The electronic device according to claim 11, wherein the processor further executes the computer program to:

obtain, based on an Activity Manager Service, the first Activity component of the app that is triggered and generated by an operation on the app.
