finish()/onDestroy() is not being called for every activity.

See original GitHub issue

This might not be a bug - (but I didn’t see it documented anywhere) Is finish()/onDestroy() guaranteed to be called on every Activity started by ActivityTestRule, specifically in order? I’m seeing cases where onDestroy() is called, but the activity that’s returning isn’t being finished via isFinishing().

Some logs that show my findings: (@Before and @After are junit before/after methods)

D/OrderOfOp:    @Before        
D/OrderOfOp:    @After        
D/OrderOfOp:    onPause()        
D/OrderOfOp:    @Before        
D/OrderOfOp:    onDestroy()        
D/OrderOfOp:    onDestroy()    -->    isFinishing()
D/OrderOfOp:    @After        
D/OrderOfOp:    onPause()        
D/OrderOfOp:    @Before        
D/OrderOfOp:    @After        
D/OrderOfOp:    onPause()        
D/OrderOfOp:    @Before        
D/OrderOfOp:    onDestroy()        
D/OrderOfOp:    onDestroy()    -->    isFinishing()
D/OrderOfOp:    onPause()        
D/OrderOfOp:    onDestroy()        
D/OrderOfOp:    onDestroy()    -->    isFinishing()

(for reference, this is the onDestroy() method):

 @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        Log.d("OrderOfOp", "onDestroy()");
        if (isFinishing()) {
            Log.d("OrderOfOp", "onDestroy() --> isFinishing()");
        }
    }
