Description

Given:

  • you have another app open
  • in that app, there is a reddit link
  • you choose to open that reddit link in RedReader

When:

  • you are done reading the content of that link in RedReader, you press Android Back button

Then:

  • you expect to be sent back to the other app from which you opened this reddit link
  • but instead you actually are returned to whatever you had opened previously in RedReader itself, in its own session so to speak

I hope this use-case, actual behaviour and expected behaviour are explained well enough.

TL;DR: Pressing Back after opening a reddit link from another app should return back to the other app instead of returning to RedReader.

Research direction

Reproduce the flow by opening a Reddit link in RedReader from another app, reading it, and pressing the Android Back button. Trace the activity or navigation entry point for externally opened links; done means Back returns to the originating app instead of an earlier RedReader session.
