Android Question How to stop/run a service/app?

[incendio]

Hi guys,

Is there a function in B4A to stop/run a service/system app?

I want to build a widget, that able to stop/run, for example Google play service when it clicked.

You can send an intent to start other apps. Use PackageManager.GetApplicationIntent to find the correct intent.

Thanks for your replied.

Is there any sample codes or which tutorial for intents should I follow?

And how to stop running app?

You cannot stop a different app. You can use a service to show your app again.
