Here you go:
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"
android:debuggable="true"
android:allowTaskReparenting="true"
android:name="com.company.product.AppName"
>
<activity
android:theme="@style/Theme.Sherlock"
android:name="com.company.product.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTop"
>
If you don't want singleTask there is a way to make sure singleTop always
has only one instance. Just like Piren said - make sure there are no other
intents to launch your app - they will create a different instance. If you
absolutely need to have other intents that can launch your activity but
still want only one instance use this:
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK |
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
It won't be the same instance but there will be only one.
Good luck!
