Hi Mark, Yes sorry, my mail was not clear but you got it. I was really sure this was available from 1.6. It seems I need to have a rest! I will try that tomorrow.
Thanks you both for the lightning fast help :) Thierry Le 12 mai 2010, 12:32 AM, "Mark Murphy" <mmur...@commonsware.com> a écrit : Thierry Legras wrote: > How can i start an application just knowing the package name, not the > clas... There is no concept in Android of "start an application". There is "start an activity", even "start an activity that appears in the Launcher". > Ok, there is Intent.setComponent solution would be what i need ... if it > was compatible with 1.... Not to mention the fact that this will not work by itself. 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... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
