Motorola Droid : When Running 3rd Party Apps Similar To Those Installed
Jan 7, 2010I have a few apps running which are similar to installed ones, eg K9-Mail Beta, Quick Settings and ENotify. Since they are doing similar things to the installed ones, are there certain things I must do if I have them running, ie should I be trying to turn off the installed ones?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Package Name For Droid Apps To Use Intent To Launch Market App From Web?
May 7, 2010I'm creating a mobile website that will include a page from which people can download relevant apps that we recommend. I've found instructions for creating the links to launch the Market but this assumes that you are the developer of the app in question and know the exact package name.
Is there any way to get the package name, other than just contacting the developers and asking?
Also, it turns out that those instructions don't really work for creating web hyperlinks. They only give you a URI to reference in a string of Java code in another Android app. Our site is in Drupal, so Java is not going to work.
For the iPhone, I found easy instructions for getting the URL/link style I need from the iTunes store, so I'm looking for info like that.
HTC EVO 4G :: How To Launch Non-market Apps / Already Installed?
Jun 15, 2010I installed a non-market .apk app on my new Evo using Astro File Manager, by clicking the install button in the file manager interface. But how do I actually launch the app to use it now that it is installed? I can't find an icon or a place to make a shortcut to.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Let A Third Party App Start Activity Directly?
Feb 21, 2010I'm working on an activity which other 3rd parties want to use in their own apps, via intents.code...
While this would work, this probably won't give them the desired effect of jumping directly to my activity from theirs - the android chooser dialog will appear, asking if they want to open the intent data with the browser, or my app.
How can I let 3rd parties call my activity directly without broadcasting the intent like this? I'd like to make them still pass the same exact data scheme to me, but just let them open my activity directly.
Android :: Start An Intent To Launch An App To Background In Droid
May 16, 2010I'm using Wikitude API 1.1 as an AR viewer in my application. The problem with Wikitude, if I haven't launched the actual Wikitude application since the phone's bootup, I will get a NullPointerException everytime I start my own application.
So I figure if I can start my app first and them check if Wikitude is installed and or running. If it's not installed, go to market n download. If it's not running, then we should run it straight to background so that my app doesn't loose its focuscode...
The part I block commented is the intent to start Wikitude. But I always failed in restricting Wikitude to background. Any help?
Android :: Intent To Launch Clock Application On Droid
Aug 28, 2010I am facing a problem with a clock widget i made. I want the user to touch the clock and launch the clock app on the phone. this is the code...
I made the above so the when i touch the clock opens the alarm settings. But is not universal.
I found out that on droids with 2.2 does not work. There must be a better solution than creating an if statement for every android phone flavor i the world. Plus i don not know the package names for all.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: DVM Instance Creation - Launch Installed Droid App At Runtime From Another?
Oct 14, 2009I trying to understand how a new process is being created based on AndroidManifest.xml, also looking for the possibility of creating/ forking a new Java process/new DVM instance at runtime.
I could find that using Runtime.exec one can issue system commands or launch native applications, but this is not what I am looking for, I am looking for creating an equivalent java process just as the parent java process.
Can I launch an installed android application at runtime from another android application? Whats the way for doing this?

General :: How To Launch 3rd Party App When Email Received
May 13, 2013My cctv dvr comes with an android app that I can use to view cctv cameras.
The dvr is configured to send an email when it detects motion.
What I'm struggling with is trying to figure out how to launch the cctv android app when an email arrives, and then after a set time (e.g. 30secs) to stop the application or put it to sleep.
The idea is that I will have a number of android tablets on the wall in various rooms, and they will come on and off automatically when motion is detected outside.
Is it possible to achieve this? Is there an app that can look out for the email notification and then launch a 3rd party app i.e. the cctv app, and then after a preset time shut it down. (I think if the cctv app is left running in the background, the streaming is still continuing and drains battery and eats data.)

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Launch Messaging App Via Intent?
Jan 13, 2010What 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)?

Android :: Way To Launch Calendar App With Generic Intent
Sep 13, 2009There's seemingly no way to launch the calendar app in a generic way. I've written a widget which allows you to launch the calendar. I use the following Intent:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setClassName("com.android.calendar", "com.android.calendar.LaunchActivity"); startActivity(i);
However, this doesn't work on the Hero because HTC has apparently replaced the calendar in their Sense UI. I'm looking for a "standard" way to reach the calendar. I'd like for something like this to be standardized:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setType("text/calendar"); startActivity(i);
Does anyone think it would be worth trying to add this to the source? It seems like there is a missing chunk of standards around calendar events and/or iCal / vCal support. Does anyone know why?
Android :: Create An Intent To Launch Any E-mail App?
Jun 30, 2010I have found various topics here and elsewhere on creating an intent for sending e-mail and that seems to be pretty straightforward. I'm looking for an intent to just launch any e-mail client the user might have.
Here is the code I've seen for sending an e-mail (posted just for reference, this doesn't serve my needs as I don't want to send a new message):code...
The code above works but isn't flexible in that a user might not be using Gmail but the other built-in e-mail application or a 3rd party e-mail app. I'm looking for an intent that would bring up the chooser in this case so the user can decide which app to launch to read e-mail.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Android : Can't Get Intent Filter To Launch Activity From A Uri

Below is my manifest file, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? With the below file, if I open the browser and try to navigate to http://org.test.launchtest it just says the page doesn't exist. Shouldn't this work?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Getting List Of Installed App's - How To Launch One Of Them
Jul 20, 2010My first application will just be a kind of launcher that I would like to improve. This launcher will launch a custom Home that the user has installed. That's like the application "Home Switcher, but I would like to do that myself.
So my first goal is to get all "Home" applications list: that's really easy and the code is there:
CODE:.......
Now I would like to do that in a listview. My first problem is to get the Icon: I failed, but that's not my main problem ( if you can help me I would be happy)
I succeed to make a listview with all the names of the installed Home:
CODE:........
And now when I click on a home, I would like to lauch the Home, so what I did is:
CODE:...............................
So, there is a box that that appear and ask me:
Complete action using:
LauncherPro - or Sense - or ADW
Wallaper Gallery
I think I am close to what I would like to do. what I miss or give me an example of a Launcher that would be a few linecode.
