Loading external phone apps

[alfcen]

Hi,

Perhaps I should go through the online manual again, but I'm kinda lazy,
rather impatient.

It is possible to launch the web browser using the Phone Lib, such as
StartActivity(phone1.OpenBrowser("http://..."))

Now, my phone came with an HTMLViewer program, which is light-weight
and simply displays HTML code formidably.

Question being, how to load external apps with parameters?

Cheers

Robert

Android works differently to Windows and Windows Mobile. You cannot interact directly with other apps. You have to invoke them as either an Activity or a Service using intents supported by that app and use the mechanisms Android provides to move data from one to the other. If you can get at the apk for the viewer you can look in its manifest to see if it supports any intents.

Thanks a lot, Andrew. You saved me quite some time trying.
Have a great New Year!
