running a program from within a program?

[variax20]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if would be possible in b4a to load another program from within a program? For example. You have a program which has a button saying "run app 1" and when you click this button, it loads another program externally and runs it. Is this possible at all?


Thanks guys!

Yes it is possible by using Intents, look at the attached sample.

Hi NJDude,

Really sorry about this but I can't seem to get this to work for what I need.
Would you be able to show me a code example for a program which loads another app on the phone please? I'm kinda new to this stuff I'd really appreciate, thanks again!


Best wishes

Ash
