No, when I try to call the intent with startActivity I get a Force
Close error, whether I try:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("intent.action.VOLUME_CONTROL");
startActivity(intent);
or
Intent intent = new Intent("intent.action.VOLUME_CONTROL");
startActivity(intent);
with this filter in my manifest for the other app it's trying to call:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="intent.action.VOLUME_CONTROL"/>
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
I don't have any special permissions I'm asking for, and I'm not using
any special permissions in the calling app. I have a feeling that I'm
missing something very simple, but I can't find any documentation that
says I'm doing anything wrong. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
(I know, to avoid the error at least, I could check to see if that
intent is available and whatnot, but I'm just trying to test to see if
it can work so i can make the intent available from my app)
