This invokes an Intent directly from Preferences XML which is handy. (Perhaps you could specify ACTION_GET_CONTENT to return a value to your app, although I have not tried this.) Invoking the intent works OK internally, but I have not been able to invoke an activity outside of my application. For instance, I have not been able to invoke the generic phone Dialer. I have only been able to invoke activities defined in my manifest file. This doesn't seem fair since you can invoke outside activities through java code using intents... br, Jim On Mar 6, 6:37 pm, Xin Zhao <uszhao...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey guys, > > I am trying to start an intent from a preference activity, AND GET RESULTS > once the new intent is done.
