I want to specifically run the default Android browser for a given URL. I'm using this code: I also tried adding <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.browser" /> to the manifest. Am I missing something here? PS: I'm not interested in using startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"))) as it will list all the choices for the browsing Intent.

Shouldn't this work?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got two activities, one of them is called MyActivity. I want both of them to be able to use a function located in a class othat we may call MyClass. In MyClass, I try to use an intent to launch the activity AnotherActivity. Since the constructor takes a context as parameter, I simply tried to store a context from the activity in the constructor, and then use it when I try to create my intent.However, even thought none of the arguments are null (checked that with a simple if-statement), intent seems to be null and a NullPointerException is thrown. Why does it not work, and what can I do to solve the problem?
I'm quite new to Android and Java development, so please explain it as basic as you can.
I am trying to launch an activity by specifying only its action(custom) defined in its intent filter from an activity in other application. The activity to be launched is the main activity of its application thus have android.intent.action.MAIN & android.intent.category.LAUNCHER set as action and category in its intent filter. Now according to android doc on Intent and Intent Filter, i do not need to specify DEFAULT category at all in this case. But doing the same i am i am unable to launch the activity.
LogCat says, Activity could not be found...
Am i misinterpreting the text or is there something else missing...?
Code, used for calling the activity
CODE:.............
Definition of Activity being called in the manifest file
COE:....................
I have two .apk file (wit their respective activity). I want to launch the second one from the first one. How can I do this?
Just to be clear : I have project1.apk and project2.apk. act1 belongs to project1.apk and act2 to project2.apk.
I would have done [in the code of act1]
Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClass(this, act2.class); startActivity(intent); if it was in the same apk but it is not working here. Could you explain to me the best way to do this ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI had come across a code snippet which calls for an activity without referring to any context.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm just getting into Android development, and I have a question about communicating between a receiver class and an activity class. I'm very new to JAVA and Android so I hope I don't sound too stupid. I'm developing an application where I intercept an SMS message and then based on various elements of that SMS I might delete it once it's been saved to the inbox. I have a receiver class that intercepts the txt message, and I am also able to delete messages from my inbox with code in the activity class using a button at the moment. The problem I have is communicating between the receiver class and the activity class where the code to delete a message resides. I tried putting that code directly into the receiver class but as I'm sure most of you already know the BroadcastReceiver class doesn't seem to support what I need to delete messages. I've been searching for an answer to this for a while, but haven't been able to find anything. Honestly I'm not sure I know enough about JAVA and Android to even recognize a solution if I saw it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat is the recommended way to launch the messaging app (for sending an MMS message) via an intent? The following code works on my HTC Magic ... code..
... but it first launches the Resolver activity (com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity), prompting the user to select the appropriate app (Email, Gmail, Messaging, Picasa). The user has to select Messaging before proceeding.
The only way I've found to bypass the resolver is to explicity set the desired component on the intent before starting the activity as follows:
intent.setClassName("com.android.mms", "com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity");
However, I'm guessing this approach will not work on devices that have a customised UI, like the HTC Hero. Can someone confirm/deny?
I'm also struggling to find official documentation for the "address" and "sms_body" fields that can be supplied as extra data as per the above example. Is it expected that these will be supported by the default messaging app in future SDK versions and in customised UIs (like HTC's Sense UI)?
