Question

I need to create intent from thread:

final Runnable installapps = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        String[] fnames = appsPath.list();
        for (String curfile : fnames) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(path)),
                    "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    }
};

I tried using runOnUiThread but it’s still cant be done (app crashed).

Thanks

Made it with a handler and StartActivityForResult(). It starts installation Intent, waits for any result (just closing of intent), and executes next one.

handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);

private Handler handler = new Handler() {
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
        appcounter++;
        if (appcounter < fnames.length) { 
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(appsPath + "/" + fnames[appcounter])), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
        startActivityForResult(intent, req);  
        }
    }
};

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
      Log.d("CheckStartActivity","onActivityResult and resultCode = "+resultCode);
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
   //  appcounter++; 
    handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
