I am calling plugin X from the tab menu as well as a menu items on the main menu. Now Every time I click the plugin X's icon on the menu, it launches a new instance of the plugin. And I then click on the tab, it launches another instance of the plugin. Anybody know what code I can use or call so that it looks for an existing instance and reuses what's already there instead of launching a new one for every click Title Comments Guys, I created a new plugin (lets call it plugin X) which basically launches a UIWebView instance.

What happens when you load the tab then switch tabs and come back (without going to the menu option)? Does it work properly then, or does it still load a new webview?

When I go in through the tab and come back to the tab, it doesn't load a new instance. But each time I go through the menu item, it loads a new instance everytime. I want it to show the same state whether I launch it through the tab or menu Comments Yes I am pointing to the same screen ID in both tab and menu.

Not sure there's much you can do. Comments It's probably because when you leave the menu screen, it destroys the reference to it. Not sure there's much you can do.
