To call the target app, I assume it has to be via an explicit intent -
otherwise my app will get called again by Android?
No, I am not reusing anyone's app or parts of it -
Activites that are re-usable should have some published way of
invoking them... Otherwise, perhaps they do something by file type,
like if you start an activity for an MP3, audio players should be able

activity, instead of trying to
