I don't know if this is the one you meant about launching uninstaller activity but I found something which might be the same...
http://android.amberfog.com/ I put this in the manifest... <activity android:name=".UninstallerActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <action android:name="android.intent.action.DELETE" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <data android:scheme="package" /> </intent-filter> </activity> then this one in the source... Uri packageURI = Uri.parse("package:com.android.myapp"); Intent uninstallIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DELETE, packageURI); startActivity(uninstallIntent); It redirected me to the uninstall confirmation... How about before the uninstaller activity... the window where it shows the information of the applications you selected... Whats the name of that activity?? How do I redirect to that activity??
