Android Intent To Launch Radio Application

I was trying to get the list of available radio FM applications installed on my device through an Intent, but I couldn't find any action to do that. I was looking for something lik

Solution 1:

This may prove difficult.

Radio is not a part of the Android framework and is custom to manufacture devices. So raising the intent maybe a per device intent. Plus, this only takes into consideration that the manufacture actually set a custom intent receiver when they built the app.

Solution 2:

If you really want to start the application you can use Logcat to filter for the tag "ActivityManager" and you should be able to see the intent that is being used to fire that particular application. As mentioned above its OEM specific so you have to consider the possibility that it might not be there.

Once you have the intent, then you build an intent exactly as it appears and see if they allow applications to call it directly. From my experience most developers don't protect their activities very well, so calling a particular screen is pretty simple.
