How to launch a mobile app from another app?

Is there any way to launch for one mobile app to launch another mobile app, e.g. via a button click?

Example: the org.apache.cordova.camera plugin allows direct access to the camera on a button click. In the same way, how can one app launch another app?

Solution

  • Try this 

    Intent LaunchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("package name here");
startActivity( LaunchIntent );

    If you don't know the package name of application that you want to launch then try this

    PackageManager pm;
pm = getPackageManager();
//  get a list of all installed apps then launch by pakagename.
packages = pm.getInstalledApplications(0);

String packagename = packages.get(position).packageName.toString()
