I know that I can do that but:
- in this phase I wanted to focus on the app, so using an external app was
faster (and now I am wondering is it's ok to leave it this way)
- it's the approach suggested by zxyng, otherwise I think they would have
released a library
- I don't really like to copy / paste pieces of code around
On the other hand, as a user I wouldn't really like to be asked to install
something more than the app I chose, so I think I'll move to that other
approach (maybe after some iteration).
Intents are extremely powerful but, if G wants to promote this cross app
collaboration, they should offer a list of options directly in the download
phase from the market, maybe relying on what openintents are doing.
I think a user (or at least me) would trust the market more than a random
app....
Thanks for the reply,
Federico
