How to open particular activity of 3rd party application

Question

I know I can open Activity with Intent but I am trying to open particular Activity from my application.

Intent launchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.3rdPartyApplcation");
if (launchIntent != null) 
{
     startActivity(launchIntent);
}

Example:- My application is A I have to open Settings page of Application B which is 3rd party application, I also know the activity name.

Most likely, that activity is not exported, and therefore you cannot start it. — CommonsWare, Oct 06 '17 at 12:51

First you need to find out the package name of the app u want to launch using intent along with the activity name which u want to launch directly from your app.

 Intent intent=new Intent();
 intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.3rdPartyApplcation.packagename", "com.3rdPartyApplcation.packagename.SettingsActivity"));
 startActivity(intent);

The activity which u launch must be declared as android:exported="true" in manifest.xml. Otherwise u got the exception – Akshay Chopde Oct 06 '17 at 15:04
