There is no concept in Android of "start an application".

BTW, setComponent() most certainly works with Android 1.5, since that method existed since API Level 1 (a.k.a., Android 1.0). > I guess i have to play with getPackageManager() but how can i use it? Intent i=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED); i.setComponent(name); startActivity(i); See: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/Introspection/Launchalot/ -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Consulting: http://commonsware.com/consulting -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
