Here is the case: While i'm trying to make fuctional tests against all apps installed in my device,The feature "Target package" of My instrumentation class makes it insurmountable to access a third pkg,But in some cases,It is much of a need to do so, e.g. an email from a stranger comes and after i view the content ,i decide to add him to my contact list by pressing menu->add to contact This action may invoke a certain activity in pkg .contact,And in this situation,My instrumentation will abort,as the top activity is already out of the target pkg(.email), So, any way i can do this ?? Thanks again!
