I am looking to trap an implicit intent from the launcher, do some processing, and then call the original target app directly. To call the target app, I assume it has to be via an explicit intent - otherwise my app will get called again by Android? No, I am not reusing anyone's app or parts of it - I want to know what their main Activity class is, so I can call it directly via an explicit intent. I am just looking for a general solution so that I can call any app explicitly without unintended recursion. thanks, Anil
