Receive custom intent without activity restart

android, android-intent, java, linkify, xml

Solution

Looks like `launchMode` is the problem. You shouldn't use `singleInstance`, as that is only for HOME-screen replacements. You should try `singleTop`. That should be enough for what you are trying to do.

Problem

I have a `TextView` with some linkification(twitter style): ``` Pattern pattern1 = Pattern.compile("@\\w+"); Linkify.addLinks(textView, pattern1, "my_activity://one="); Pattern pattern2 = Pattern.compile("#\\w+"); Linkify.addLinks(textView, pattern2, "my_activity://two="); ``` Activity declared in manifest with following intent filter: ``` <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <data android:scheme="my_activity" /> </intent-filter> ``` Intent gets caught in the `onNewIntent` method of the activity but the activity gets restarted before that(I assume this is default behaviour). Is there a way to receive such intent without restarting activity?
