## Declaration

## Return Value

Return Value A new activity.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this method to create a new activity for a context every time a person makes a new attempt at a task. Afterward, use the returned value, or retrieve it by accessing the context’s currentActivity property. However, don’t store a reference to the activity as a class property because the underlying object may change from time to time as the framework performs network synchronization. When you call this method on a context that already has an activity, the old activity is stopped and ceases to be accessible to your app, although its data remains in the network.
