You should notice two instances of your Activity. As William suggests, review launch modes - "SINGLE_TASK" in particular I think you'll want to play with. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
