B4X:

Dim pm As PackageManager
StartActivity(pm.GetApplicationIntent("your.other.app.package.name"))

I usually use:

B4X:

MyIntent.Initialize(MyIntent.ACTION_MAIN, "")
  MyIntent.SetComponent("your.other.app.package.name/.main")
  StartActivity(MyIntent)

Is there any preference to which of the two methods to use?

The first will start the app with the activity which the apps author designes in his manifest

The second will start the apps main activity
