Using ActivityStarter to start third party apps: Error 601

[Audio & Video Guide]

Hi everyone,

I'm using ActivityStarter to start a thirdparty app: OsmAnd. (the free version).

I'm receiving an "Error 601: No corresponding activity was found". The OsmAnd app is installed on my Android device where I'm running my AppInventor app and I've tried several configurations for ActivityStarter. Can someone explain what are the possible causes for Error 601? I've not been successful in obtaining the right cause on the net.

i try this configuration:

Action: android.intent.action.MAIN

ActivityClass: net.osmand.activities.MapActivity

ActivityPackage: net.osmand

the sorce code for OsmAnd is here:

https://github.com/osmandapp

can someone help to find what is the correct configuration?

another qustion:

what is the data Uri if i want to open the map in the app with Place marker (i have lot + lan)?

thanks.

i try this configuration:
Action: android.intent.action.MAIN
ActivityClass: net.osmand.activities.MapActivity
ActivityPackage: net.osmand

where did you find that configuration?

probably it works, if you use ActivityPackage: net.osmand.activities

if not see here how to find it out yourself here Using the Activity Starter in chapter "Figuring out how to set the properties"

what is the data Uri if i want to open the map in the app with Place marker (i have lot + lan)?

Thanks Taifun, but i didnt anderstend how to find the correct configuration.

i try your suggestion to use ActivityPackage: net.osmand.activities and still not working....error 601.

i look at Using the Activity Starter in chapter "Figuring out how to set the properties":

Figuring out how to set the properties

If you can't find documentation for the activities you want to start, one way to figure out how to set the properties is to start up the activity manually and look at what appears in the Android System Log. For example, if you use YouTube to play a video, you'll see in the log:

I/ActivityManager( 86): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW cat=[android.intent.category.BROWSABLE] dat=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ADwPLSFeY8 flg=0x3800000 cmp=com.google.android.youtube/.PlayerActivity }




is start up the activity manually meas to open the app?

where can i find the Android System Log?

i will appreciate your answer.

is start up the activity manually meas to open the app?

this seems to be not a LogCat log and does not seem to help therefore?

I now prepared something for you here

hi;

i try it also and still OsmAnd is open in main menu only.

i think mybee the ActivityClass should be change.

now the configurations is:

Action	ActivityClass	ActivityPackage	DataUri
android.intent.action.MAIN	net.osmand.plus.activities.MainMenuActivity	net.osmand	http://download.osmand.net/go?lat=41.890649&lon=12.490986&z=10

if you click (computer) on DataUri value it will open with "google maps".

i try to do this:

Action	ActivityClass	ActivityPackage	DataUri
android.intent.action.MAIN			http://maps.google.com/?q=41.890649,12.490986

now, when i click on the app button the system ask me which navigate app to use.

when i choose OsmAnd, the mark place is open whit OsmAnd.

so i still wonder what shuold bee the ActivityClass to open mark place with OsmAnd with one click?

Thanks.
