Do some debugging work... The PackageManager can give you a list of all applications on your phone. Step through them and find the Camera application and note the package name of the camera application.
Assuming you have done that, you can do something similar to the following (obviously putting in checks for the case the application doesn't exist, etc...): String packageName = <package name found in above steps>; PackageManager mgr = getPackageManager(); Intent intent = mgr.getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName); startActivity(intent); If the getLaunchIntentForPackage method returns null, as it sometimes does, then you will have to create a new intent instead with something similar to this: Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName(packageName, className); I have not looked into how to find the className of an arbitrary application but I'm sure with a little work you can figure it out. I have already explained to you how to do this, both in these forums and when you emailed me directly. Rather than continually posting the same question over and over and waiting for someone to do your coding for you and give you complete functional code, I would suggest looking through the developer guide and the SDK reference docs and trying to figure it out for yourself. http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html Thanks, Justin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world...
