=== What are activity id's? How do I obtain the activity id for an instance of my activity? ===
The activity id is sort of like the unix process id (PID). However, unlike PIDs it is only different for each new instance (with create_jobject = True set) and stays the same every time a user resumes an activity. This is also the identity of your Activity to other XOs for use when sharing.
You can use the get_id() method in the activity class to get the activity id for your activity. Since most activities should inherit from the Activity class, you can actually just get a handle on the top level object for your activity and use that to call get_id.

activity.Activity.__init__(self, handle)
...
#store the activity id for this variable in the variable my_id
my_id = self.get_id()
