Is there a way that I can add a link to my twitter account that will open the users twitter app if installed and go to my twitter page?
I don't want to send tweets via twitter...

@Vladimir I don't think that question helps him actually? See my answer. – dbyrne Mar 04 '11 at 15:11

If I understand your question correctly, you want the user to click a link from your Activity, and be forwarded to your twitter account's profile page inside whatever twitter app they have installed.
I don't think there is any way to do this. You can interface with twitter apps using an intent if you want to send out a tweet, but I am unaware of any twitter apps that can handle intents to display a particular user's profile page. Your best bet is to use a WebView to display your mobile twitter page to the user.

You have understood me correctly. From my various Googles, I figured this would be the answer, but thought I'd ask it anyway! Thanks – neildeadman Mar 04 '11 at 15:20
