Tip2:
While Activity.setContentView takes an id of a Layout, TabSpec.setContent takes an id of a View.

Tip 3: Android: Get the Application Version in an activity
PackageInfo info = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo( getPackageName(), 0 );
String version = info.versionName;

Tip 4: Android onNewIntent() is never called.

In the android manifest file for the activity, add the following attribute
android:launchMode="singleInstance"
