Can you launch an android app from an android app built with air?

Hi I might a have project coming up soon where one of the requirements is that the android air application can launch another application on the device...
In pure java this would look something like this....
Intent LaunchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.rpg.rbar");
startActivity(LaunchIntent);
Does anyone no if I can perform a similar method using as3
Thanks

Try the below.  Found this at the below link. 
http://www.blogbyben.com/2013/04/launching-android-app-from-adobe-air-app.html
var url:String = ("intent:#Intent;" + "action=android.intent.action.MAIN;" + "category=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER;" + "component=com.android.settings/.Settings;" + "end");  navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url));
Question I have is, is there any way to get a list of currently installed apps?

  • Apps built with AIR 3.4 release SDK for AppStore?

    Hello,
    Here's my question -
    Can we publish apps built with AIR 3.4 release SDK to the Apple AppStore?
    We need to use AIR 3.4 SDK as the AIR 3.3 SDK results in problems on iOS 6.
    Also, was going through the AIR 3.4 SDK release notes ... Can you detail how do these affect iOS development -

  • How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    That sounds great, but I'm lost.
    I followed these steps:
    1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
    2) Chose print
    The print/printer options pop-up will show.
    3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
    4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
    It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
    Am I missing anything?

    I have a problem with opening downloaded files from the internet; zip types. Can you tell me an app to open these types of formats of files?

    It should unzip if you double-cick.
    What are you seeing happen when you do that?
    Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

    Can you launch and close a Microsoft Word Document from inside your Captivate 8.01 project?

    You can launch it as long as the server has the mime/type, especially if a docx.

  • Can you update an iOs app and change its platform offering from iPad/iPhone to just iPad?

    When building a new app with Adobe DPS to update an existing app, can you update an iOs app and change its platform offering from iPad/iPhone to just iPad?

    Vinod is correct in that you can build a new app that's iPad-only, but if you try to submit it as an update to the existing app, Neil is correct--Apple will reject it because it's considered a downgrade. You either need to stick to the universal app and do something like create a single iPhone folio that refers users to the iPad, or you need to submit it as a new app.

  • Can you open two seperate apps at once?

    Can you have two separate apps open at once?

    Yes and no. When you open other apps they are all still open in the back ground. You can quickly access them by double tapping the home button to display the multi tasking bar. Also you can quickly access the last used app by swiping with four fingers from right to left or accessing the multi tasking bar by doing a four finger swipe upwards.

    can you print password protected pdfs from an ipad?

    This may help, but I do note that the printer you state is NOT on the airprint list. You may need to go to the app store and see if Canon has an app that will facilitate printing on a non AirPrint device.

    Can you crop an Facebook picture from the iPad?

    Yes you can crop pictures that are in the albums. I use the app PhotoForge2 It will let you do other editing things too. I creates a new doc so the original is undisturbed. I'm sure other apps will do similar things.

    Why can you not resolve an app purchase  problem simply ! As you have done in the past

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
    If you have a problem with an app that the developer can't/won't help you with then you will need to contact iTunes Support, either as described on the page that you posted from, or via the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem

  • HT204266 how can you tell if an app update is free?

    I constantly get app updates, it seems as if I am be charged for them, how can you tell if an app update is free?

    I have never been charged for an app update. Which apps are you being charged to update? There should be no charge for an update.
    If you upgrade the app from a lite version to a full version, there will be a charge for that.

  • HT2020 Can you install an iChat app on an iPad?

    Can you download an iPad app for iChat?

    Hi,
    Expanded version of what mende1 said
    iChat on Macs up to the Lion (OS X 10.7.x) Install  can do AIM and Jabber chats.
    At the OS X 10.7.x and the iChat 6 version you can also do Yahoo Text chats.
    While the iPad will not be able to use Video (In these chats) there are various Apps for "Mobile" devices that will be able to help.
    In addition you can login to AIM Express  and text chat from a Browser.
    The same can be done by logging in to Google and Facebook and chatting via their Jabber services.
    Enabling "Talk" on your Google Account enables Googletalk which is a Jabber server.
    It is the same for the Facebook "Chat" option that needs to be Enabled as the run a Jabber server as well.
    I presume there is a Yahoo Mobile version or a web Browser login that you can use.
    Chats are essentially AIM to AIM or Jabber to Jabber (Yahoo to Yahoo).
