Hi!
I learnt a lot thanks to you tutorial. Thank you for it.
I launch APK2 with APK1, APK1 is still running in background. How I can come back to APK1? with the code which is running in APK1.
I tried in 2 differents ways :
*use the onRestart() methode, onStart ...
*use the intent created an close it: this.stopService(i); i.setAction(i.ACTION_DELETE); i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
But nothing work... Do you have an idea how to do this?

Mick

hey really a nice help provided by you. really appreciate that.
I am also having a question. I m new to android apps development and I want to launch an application when a user draws a gesture on homescreen.That means user doesnt need to use any application but the homescreen should be able to detect a gesture drawn and a service sort of thing should get triggerred to launch an application.
If anyone could help it will be great.
Thanks in advance

thanks for your tutorial. It helps me.

Now I have a question. If I want to pass some data from my activity to another activity in another application. How can I do that? I tried to use intent and put the bundle to intent. But the activity in another application got no bundle. here is my codes:

--- my activity ---
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
Bundle extra = new Bundle();
String []args = {"3819412104","It's Supernatural with Sid Roth", "2", "KDTN-DT", "1311962400000", "1311964200000", "134"};
extra.putStringArray("DetailPageArgs", args);
intent.putExtras(extra);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.example.test", "com.example.test.ddd.DetailPageActivity"));
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

---- DetailActivity -----
Intent intent = getIntent();
Bundle args = intent.getExtras();

args is null.
Could you let me know what's going on. What can I do to get the passed data?
thanks a lot

If you just know the package name then you could use PackageManager and use getPackageInfo :)

Hello,
Thank you for this valuable info.
So, in order to open other people’s application,
we need to know both the package and class names.
Correct? I would like to confirm it.

Thank you for your answer.
Well by reuse i mean using in part the one from Google as a view component that could be binded with a object list...
In the same idea i'm interested of use android live folders..like a real folder where i could drag items but it seems like not easy to do.
Anyway! i'm going first to get Android source code and try to get how they do it

Thanks, glad its helping you :) By reuse you mean using the one from google? I think its better if you get the idea on how the staff is being done first before reusing any codes, btw most of the sources on launching staff (like applications, widget, etc) could be found on the official Launcher.git (http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Launcher.git;a=tree;f=src/com/android/launcher;h=86727674d25930f667f644a76c2478a35e13b0f2;hb=154f4a3dcc3ebb07fa7db51d3ff57a1557990cc0)
