Calling up external apps
Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Calling up external apps
| ||
| Has anyone ever used Monkey to call up external apps? I'd like to write a menu type app that allows the user to select other apps that are installed. There would be no need for other OS features - just to load specific programs from the list. |

| You can create a folder with a long press finger and put inside all apps you want to launch. |

| Thanks for the tip, but I mean via Monkey code ;-). |

| You can do it in GLFW with Execute(cmd), but I'm not sure about Android since it's much different. Native code would be like this:
Intent LaunchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.package.address");
startActivity(LaunchIntent);
and you can inject this into monkey (android target only) by this: [monkeycode] #If TARGET="android" Extern Function LaunchIntent() = "Intent LaunchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(~qcom.package.address~q); startActivity(LaunchIntent); //" End #Endif [/monkeycode] but you may need to have access to the PackageManager, which is beyond my current knowledge. |
