Hi I am opening another app from my app. I want to display that another app in a dialog box. So what are my options. I an trying the code below...

public class PictureGallery extends Activity{

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
    Intent intent = pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.abc.me");
    startActivity(intent); ???
    setContentView(intent); ????
   }
}

I am setting theme for that activity as a dialog. So how do I set setContentView as it's not a layout but diff. activity ?

Appreciate your help.

The Android system doesn't work this way. You cannot launch another application within your own "frame" If the activity you are attempting to launch was not created as a dialog there is no way (on stock android) for you to force the system to display it in a dialog (or any other "frame" type thing within your own application - FoamyGuy 2012-04-04 18:40

You simply cannot do this, sorry.
