Works like a charm!
I have another question now. For devices that don't have a camera button
(e.g. T-Mobile MyTouch and others) would it be feasible/ok to use the
SEARCH_LONG_PRESS broadcast and do the same thing with that button instead?
This is what I currently have but I can't test it...
Hi Tikoze,
You can very easily implement this feature.
Just have a simple receiver to receive the same intent as the camera that
is:
android.intent.action.CAMERA_BUTTON
In that receiver class start your required activity as required.
And, in the corresponding AndroidManifest.xml of your
Awesome! I will try it tonight. Not very foolproof but it should work in

Thanks for the help,
Justin

I haven't had time to try a PendingIntent object yet, but I am curious
how it will help?
The problem isn't that I can't get my app to launch when the camera
button is pressed... The problem is that is launches the Camera app
and then launches my app.
Since there is no guarantee as to the order
seems unlikely (but i have no idea really). you wouldn't think you would
have control over the intents that other apps can listen for / act upon.
how would you like it if some other app came along and unregistered your

Obviously I understand that the ability to do that could cause some
developers to abuse it... And of course I would not like another
application to unregister things that my app listens for (if it
occurred without the user's knowledge).
As an example, I have used an application called Task
