Code to launch external app explicitly

Question

From one of my apps, I\'m trying to launch another. I want to use an explicit intent.

ComponentName cn = new ComponentName(\"com.myOtherApp\", \"OtherAppActi         


        

Answer 1

Try something like this...

In the manifest for 'myOtherApp' use an intent filter for 'OtherAppActivity' with a company specific intent, example...

Then, in the 'calling' app, use...

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("com.mycompany.DO_SOMETHING");
context.startActivity(intent);
