I have my main activity going and a button going to a different activity. When I go to the other activity my main activity stops. How would I keep the main activity going?
Thanks in advance.

In general, you can't do this. What is it you want to achieve? Continual processing needs the use of separate threads, services etc. – Squonk Apr 10 '11 at 00:39

You wouldn't.
Depending on what it is that you are doing, you might consider moving it to a Service.

Yes, you can keep your main Activity running. My way is use a "CHEAT".
Example your main Activity is A, in A we have button btnA. Click this btnA will open activity B.
You create a tab bar with 2 tab contains A and B. After initialize tab bar, call
tabHost.getTabWidget.setVisibility(View.GONE);
to hide this tab. So you only see main Activity visible.
When btnA is clicked, only need to switch tabHost to B
tabHost.setCurrentTab(1);//1 is index of Activity B
This question & answer is similar with your question. You can refer to it.
