Thanks Dianne. Just for the record (if someone else needs the solution and finds this thread): If you want to have two different applications in one .apk then you need to have both launcher Activities with the LAUNCHER category as Romain said. You also need to add different task affinities to these activities. Otherwise you might bump into the problems that I described (and as far as I understand, this is designed to behave like that :) )
One more note - don't believe http://code.google.com/android/intro/appmodel.html entirely - you can't have task affinities in the form "append your .apk's package name with a colon separated string" - colons are not supported characters there. Also replace the words "you will probably want to" with "you have to" in your head when reading this :) Tauno On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 8:02 PM, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]> wrote: > If you want two fully distinct apps, you need to give them different task > affinities.
