Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 24, 2011 #4 It is now possible using Activity.GetStartingIntent. You will need to add an IntentFilter declaration in the manifest file. It is not so simple. You can read more about it here: Intents and Intent Filters | Android Developers Upvote 0
