Android Question How do I launch an external app from my webpage without having the source for that app?

[Lloyd Olson]

I am trying to embed webcam video accessed by a very slick app from my Raspberry Pi. If it were possible to launch the app from my webpage , perhaps in a sort of kiosk mode, simply placing the app's icon somehow on my webpage, that would be ideal. The developer has not revealed the source and is difficult to contact. The app itself must have an embedded terminal program to SSH into the Pi, send a command to activate the Pi's camera, and port the video back to the app on the Android. This should be trivial but much searching has not revealed a way to do this without hacking the app itself, which I do not want to do.

You will need to create another app that will be started from the link: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/start-app-from-uri-in-email.27052

This app will then start the third party app.
