Attributes

Remarks

Returns an IntentSender that can be used to launch a front-door activity in a package. This is used, for example, to implement an "open" button when browsing through packages. The current implementation is the same with #getLaunchIntentForPackage(String). Instead of returning the Intent, it returns the IntentSender which is not restricted by the package visibility.

The caller can invoke IntentSender#sendIntent(Context, int, Intent, IntentSender.OnFinished, Handler) to launch the activity. An IntentSender.SendIntentException is thrown if the package does not contain such an activity, or if <em>packageName</em> is not recognized.
