That is not a permission. That is a category. An Intent used with startActivity() automatically gets the DEFAULT category added to it (unlike startService(), sendBroadcast(), etc.). Hence, your <intent-filter> in your <activity> will need to have the DEFAULT category, along with any other categories you wish to support (e.g., BROWSABLE). > As usual the use of capitals and not using capitals is completely arbitrary For your own action, perhaps. That is not true for any system-defined items, like your DEFAULT category. And, none of this has anything to do with the original question, which is how to *launch* an app, not how to create something that itself can be launched. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
