Android Question How to execute another app. from my app ?

[Adamdam]

Dear all.
Greetings,

I need to execute another app. ( say: Messenger of Facebook ) from my b4a app.

Like in VisualBasic (ex: Process.Start("D:\Folder\OtherApp.exe")) even I can send arguments to this executable to run certain function inside it.

I hope also to find a way to control this App ( ( say: Messenger of Facebook , to start communication or answer call from other side) , there is any way to do that ??

Thanks on advance.

This is done with intents and you can only do whatever the third party app allows you to do through intents.
