hey Thanks Mark for your reply
IMHO, such a library absolutely, positively should NOT be starting an

activity. The developer using the library needs to have control over
that behavior.
Wanted to check if I have understood it correctly or not.
Basically I want to develop a library which perform certain task which involves running certain series of steps.
one of the steps can be involve starting an activity(UI to get input) and use that data to finish that step.
So is this bad design that a library starting an activity.. from android perspective
From scenario perspective we should be able to do that right?

Collect the data before the first step, from your activity.
