Question

I am going to make a small android app for myself that automatically logs into skype at 8:00am every morning. The question I have for you all is, what code do I use to go into the skype app, enter in my hardcoded username/password, and sign in? Is there a different method to doing this? Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

You could download the skype app and log into it. Then every morning at 8, use AlarmManager to start the intent used by the skype app so that skype is automatically started.

AlarmManager reference:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html

You can use this to launch the intent for skype:

PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
startActivity(packageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.skype.android"));

another name for this package could be "com.skype.raider"
