Question

i want to open another installed app such as Pandora from my app.

Here is the code:

Intent LaunchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("Pandora");
    startActivity(LaunchIntent);

The above crashes my code, can someone provide code correction please?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I think what you want to do is call the application by its packet name (you need to figure that out, but that should be easy)

PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
try {
String packageName = "com.example.package";
Intent launchIntent = pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
startActivity(launchIntent);
}
catch (Exception e1){}

That should open the other application if it is installed.
