here the code written in onNewIntent() method is not working I setting the setcontentView only is that a probelm?
and this is the manifest
<application
android:icon="@drawable/icon"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity
android:name=".TweetToTwitterActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleInstance">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="tweet-to-twitter-blundell-01-android" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
This is the default launch mode of activity (If not specified). It launches a new instance of an activity in the task from which it was launched. Numerous instances of the activity can be generated, and multiple instances of the activity can be assigned to the same or separate tasks.
Just create two Activities A and B, B extends A. In manifest declare launchMode="singleTask" for A, and launchMode="singleInstance" for B. And start the Activity according to launchMode you need.
Android Activity Launch Mode Launch mode is an instruction for Android OS which specifies how the activity should be launched. It instructs how any new activity should be associated with the current task. Before moving further you first need to understand about very important topics- 1.
change your activity launchmode in manifest as given below and let me know the results,
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:launchMode="singleInstance"
worked for me.
I had to make sure to put this for both the current activity starting the intent, and the activity that is about to start from the intent, within my AndroidManifest.xml
