How to call an intent of a 3rd party app in Android


I'd like to call the services of a third party app - i.e. call from my app.

I used apktool to decode the app and have the INTENT name.

But how can I figure out the parameters it expects?

Thanks.


Solution

    1. If the intents are not specified with android:exported="true" in manifest, you can't launch them through your app.
    2. If intents are described as exported, you should read the decoded app java intent receive method to understand its parameters.
