Im not sure this is actually allowed here, but since I usually go to StackOverflow and search for answers (and in many cases find the answers) I thought I would ask a question and then answer it myself =)

So, I have Sygic Navigation om my HTC Hero, and since I need to start that app from code (and then use the API to control it) I did some investigation on how to start it - what intent to use.

So, the question is: what Intent or Activity should I use to start the app?

A: 

The answer is:

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("com.sygic.drive","com.sygic.drive.SygicDriveActivity");
startActivity(i);

Unless Sygic officially supports this, bear in mind that it might change in future releases of their application, causing yours to break.

I actually asked Sygic for the "path" above, they gave me different from above, but they didnt really know either =) It might very well stop functioning if they change it, but we are gonna detect that if and when it happens =) thx!
