}
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>

<data android:scheme="tweet-to-twitter-blundell-01-android" />

</activity>
</application>
