Reloading an activity in Android

More often i wanted to reload an activity to refresh the contents of an page. I have seen many ways to do this in Android world and i always puzzled about the best approach.

However these are some of the approaches that i took . I found the following two approaches a lot cleaner as they kill the existing intent and restart.

Approach 1:

Intent intent = getIntent();finish();startActivity(intent);

Approach 2:

</pre><pre name="code" class="java">Intent intent = getIntent();overridePendingTransition(0, 0);intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);finish();overridePendingTransition(0, 0);startActivity(intent);
