How to get a list of launchable activities of all installed apps? (lemmy.pe1uca.dev)

submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm trying to configure some NFC tags to automatically open an app, which is easy, just have to type the package name.
But I'm wondering how I can launch the app in a specific activity.

Specifically when I search for FitoTrack in my phone I get the option to launch the app directly into the workout I want to track, so I don't have to launch the app, click the FAB, click "Record workout" and then select the workout.
So I want to have a tag which will automatically launch this app into a specific workout.

How can I know what's the data I need to put into the tag to do this?

Probably looking at the code will give me the answer, but this won't apply to closed source apps, so is there a way to get all the ways all my installed apps can be launched?

Activity Manager

I've used it to launch certain parts of apps. Doesn't always do what I want. And you have to sift through a lot of useless stuff. But it works.

On F-Droid also

Nice, that's mostly what I need!
The only thing missing now are the parameters needed to launch with the correct workout

Another one on F_droid is Activity Launcher https://github.com/butzist/ActivityLauncher

you could use tasker to trigger the activity when certain conditions are met (NFC)

I've used an app called Quick Shortcut Maker to find an app's activities.

I don't know why it needs internet access and why the first thing it tries to do is connect to an IP TV site, and because it can't it crashes.
Can't trust that, hehe
