Hello,
I have to open the appli "Contacts" by from my app. An Idea?
Thank you

You can use this code:

Dim i As Intent
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "content://com.android.contacts/contacts")
StartActivity(i)

This works fine.
Thank you very much.

Good morning Erel .
I'm working on a tablet-car integration using arduino and the steering column controls. so far I've made huge progress using b4a but I need a way to toggle between apps - for example to flip from nav to homescreen or google, or open and close apps on my command whilst still running my b4a app . is it possible ?
what should it look like ? I understand I need to use intents but can't seem to focus on the proper way to phrase them to do what I want....
I saw the structure you posted above. the i.XXX is the action to take and the second should be the package name ? where can I get the actions list from ?
