What is responsible for starting apps ??

[James]

Dears:
U know,the entry activity's onCreate() method will be called right
an app starts. But who's responsible for this ? or who will handle the
intent android.intent.category.LAUNCHER and start a new app process?
Thanks a lot !

You declare your intent to lauch application at start and the android system lauched it.

Ye, That's right. But the question is who "the android system " you
referred above is. ActivityManagerService or anything else ?
and how does it work. Any ideas ??

So far as I know, the ApplicationContext will handle the intent
CATEGORY_LAUNCHER.

ActivityManagerService ultimately the one who decides when to start a process.

And unless there is something being contributed here, please move this to android-porting.
