Calling other existing smart TV applications from another application for Samsung Smart TV SDK

Question

I am using Samsung smart TV SDK for developing an app.

Is it possible to call an existing smart TV app from another app. It is possible in Android, is it also possible here? And if yes, how do you do it?

Answer 1

It's possible if you know the widgetID of the application that you want to call. widgetID is number formatted string which you will get when you register your application to certification team.

But if you want to call the application that is not yours and you don't know the widgetID of the application then it's not possible.
