Full Version: Change to Startandroidactivity

Android has the ability to start activities based off of just an intent and or parameters.

The requirment of the current implementation degrades usability because you are forced to provide an app package.

Can we remove the requirement for app package and change the requirement to require either app package or intent or both?.

For example. We do not know what browser users have installed and not all devices have a default browser or even have it enabled. The same goes with email clients.

We should be able to run the startandroidactivity with ,intent,,, or package,intent,, or package,,, instead of always requiring package.

By adding this Support if an app does not exist the user will get an option from Android to choose the best app they feel meets their needs.
