I want to launch an installed package from my Android application. I assume that it is possible using intents, but I didn't find a way of doing it. Does anyone have a link, where to find the information?

i work on custom Application Manager and try to get the disk usage of installed package. So PackageManager.getpackageSizeInfo was removed from SDK on 0.9->1.0 update android.content.pm. PackageStats(String pkgName)(cacheSize, codeSize, dataSize) returns always "0" Size of phys. file (java.io.File) in "/data/app" seems wrong/not completely. Has anybody any solution to get the total disc space used by an installed package?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to launch some applications, like the Calculator, the alarm clock, the notepad, the calendar, the camcorder, the camera, the dialer, etc, from my application. Is there an easy way to do that? Is there any place with a list of what are the intent names to launch them?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'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.
does anyone know how you can find the package name for a particular app already installed on your handset? They usually go like: com.example.prototype(Where the folder prototype cotains the runnable files)Trying to use the intent function to launch an app within an app.Was told putting this code in the onclicklistener method for the button would allow this, yet to test it successfully. I reckon it works, just need to figure out package name of the app I wanna launch.Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);i.addCategory( Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); i.setPackage("com.otherapp.package"); startActivity(i);Want to press a button, to launch the "com.otherapp.package"

I have found countless examples of sending email via intent, but I can find nothing about simply opening the default email client on the device via button press (preferably with a chooser dialog in case the user has multiple clients).
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy 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.
I'm looking for a way to calculate the size of an installed Android application/package. I can't find this information in neither ApplicationInfo nor PackageInfo objects. From the ApplicationInfo I can get the path for the data and the app itself. Data is a directory structure, but when attempting to read it recursivly I get a nullpointer. Is there any better way of doing it? Any sample code?

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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to override an Android View class to tweak the functionality just slightly. But I need to modify a field that does not have a setter method. I've placed the subclass in a package called android.widget. Why can't I access any of the package-private member fields? I notice that the compiler says they "cannot be resolved," rather than not being accessible. Does this have something to do with how Android.jar is built?
