Android Question Start another Activity in External App

[Mickego]

I can start MainActivity in an external app
"se.bankgirot.swish"
from my own app
by using this code:

Dim pm AsPackageManager
StartActivity(pm.GetApplicationIntent("se.bankgirot.swish"))

But I want to start Another Activity in that external App
"se.bankgirot.swish.ui.QRActivity"

(To replace "se.bankgirot.swish" with
"se.bankgirot.swish.ui.QRActivity"
is not working )

Could it be done in an easy way ?

It depends on the app configuration. Activities are not exported by default. Only if they have intent filters defined.

 

[Mickego]

OK
Thank You for answer

Is it visible in external app manifest file if filters are defined ?

 

[Erel]

It should be defined in the manifest file. However it is not so simple to get this file.

 

[Mickego]

I got the file,
(Unzipped the APK file)

but looks like encrypted in big parts.
But the Activities are in almost Clear text
Using Wordpad to look inside it

No concerns that someone who encrypts his stuff doesn't want you to do that?
I mean - you are a developer yourself....

 

[Mickego]

I maybe said it wrong it is "encrypted"
It is only a bit problematic to read the stuff inside the file.

It just looks encrypted when viewing it with wordpad
If it was encrypted, I´m sure it wouldn´t be possible
to read anything at all

I didn´t try to "hack" or reverse the code in any way
Only interested in to see what activities that could be started.

Like "App Shortcuts"

So my answer to Your Q, No !
