Although the documentation has lots about using an app to launch an app via
an intent, what seems to be left out is that the launched app must have a
type of permission to be
launched " <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />"
There are probably other ways to do this as well. The code that worked
for me is below.
<application
.......
<activity
android:name=".launchedAPPname"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="com.thenewboston.travis.LAUNCHEDAPPNAME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
As usual the use of capitals and not using capitals is completely arbitrary
but the code contains what worked for me
