Android - a better website launcher native app
I have developed a very simple Android native app to launch my HTML5 webapp.
Here is the main class:

    package com.plancake.android.app;
    
    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.content.Intent;
    import android.net.Uri;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    
    public class PlancakeActivity extends Activity {
        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            // setContentView(R.layout.main);
            
            Intent viewIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse("https://www.mywebsite.com"));  
            startActivity(viewIntent);   
        }
    }

When I tap its icon from my homescreen the first time everything works fine: Android opens up the browser and my webapp is loaded. Lovely!

The problem arises when I leave the webbrowser and I tap again on my launcher icon from the home screen or task manager. In that case, I get just a black screen.

I think the problem is that Android calls the onResume method (or something else), anyway not the onCreate in this latter case.

I can see two solutions:  
1) Either I replicate the startActivity call in all other methods, such as onStart, onRestore - but in that case I am afraid my app will create a new browser window everytime, therefore consuming a lot of memory unnecessarily  
2) Or after each tap, force my launcher app to leave the memory so that the onCreate method is called everytime I tap - but in this case, even if I "kill" my app, the browser will be still open so next time I tap on my launcher icon a new browser window will be created anyway

I hope I was clear enough in describing my problem and the solutions I thought of - which either of them are ideal.

Please, I would like to know how you would suggest to solve my problem.

Thanks,
