Thanks Mark, much appreciated, that works. Just to let you
"com.google.android.gallery3d" is the package name, but for some
reason simply calling setPackage() on the intent works for some
packages but not others. Now, that I know the issue, I suppose
"Application is not installed" makes sense, although it would be nice
if it could resolve to a more meaningful message.
