How to call Android calculator on my app for all phones

android, android-intent

Solution

you can try as to Default `calculator` on all android devices:

ArrayList<HashMap<String,Object>> items =new ArrayList<HashMap<String,Object>>();

final PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
List<PackageInfo> packs = pm.getInstalledPackages(0);  
for (PackageInfo pi : packs) {
if( pi.packageName.toString().toLowerCase().contains("calcul")){
    HashMap<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    map.put("appName", pi.applicationInfo.loadLabel(pm));
    map.put("packageName", pi.packageName);
    items.add(map);
 }
}

and now you can launch calculator application as:

if(items.size()>=1){
String packageName = (String) items.get(0).get("packageName");
Intent i = pm.getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
if (i != null)
  startActivity(i);
} 
else{
      // Application not found
   }

And for Api >= 15 ,You can use

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_APP_CALCULATOR);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

Problem

``` public static final String CALCULATOR_PACKAGE ="com.android.calculator2"; public static final String CALCULATOR_CLASS ="com.android.calculator2.Calculator"; Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); intent.setComponent(new ComponentName( CALCULATOR_PACKAGE, CALCULATOR_CLASS)); ``` the above works for HTC only ``` public static final String CALCULATOR_PACKAGE ="com.sec.android.app.popupcalculator"; public static final String CALCULATOR_CLASS ="com.sec.android.app.popupcalculator.Calculator"; ``` the above works for S3 I need a code that works for all of them. Someone with any clue ?Please give an example code
