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

Create the intent as action.Main and add the launcher category to it:

Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");
