Backstack & Multitasking

Nokia N9 applications have a historical backstack that always returns the user to the previous view within an application. While applications have the ability to link to other applications, the backstack history does not extend across multiple applications. Instead, the user can utilize the Open Applications view of Home to navigate between applications.

This demo highlights the following:

• Backstack demonstration through simple example of navigating within an application
• Application linking through an
  incoming notification
• Application linking via phone number
  string in SMS
• Open Applications view as a place for switching between recently used applications
