So do you suggest trying to do this as a plugin? Or is that pretty much a no go until we can work with intents via a plugin?
I am not also sure what you mean by the main launcher intent. I am using IntelliJ IDEA and the debugger waits until i launch the app on Glass automatically via voice or the menu. So I just run in debug mode and then launch my app, it then hooks itself up.
