It looks like the sample code for AliasActivity isn't currently being included in the SDK, I'll get that changed. For what it's worth, though, the main utility of it is if you want to create an .apk that doesn't include any code but just resource definitions to launch other things. For you it's probably just as easy to write your own Activity that calls startActivity() with the desired Intent and then finish() (which is all AliasActivity does after parsing the XML intent definition).
Redirecting to another activity -is- done with startActivity() and then finish(). I don't know off-hand why you are having troubles. The Forwarding and Redirection API demos can be used as examples: http://code.google.com/android/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/ On Oct 12, 8:31 am, Anm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The AliasActivity looks interesting, as a way to redirect a user to > another activity/intent under a different name.
