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
