That depends on what you mean. These are not "services" -- they are applications. And, more importantly, they have activities which represent the user interface. So, if you want to know if, say, an ACTION_DIAL Intent on a tel: Uri will work, create an Intent for it and call resolveActivity() on PackageManager. If it returns null, you know that a startActivity() call will fail on that same Intent. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.7 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
