Opening a specific Android home screen page

Question

I am trying to create an Android service that causes a specific home screen page to open when the Droid is placed in the Car Dock instead of having it open the Car Home application. I cannot find any reference to how to specify a home screen page other than the center page that always gets displayed when pressing the Home button by using CATEGORY_HOME. Does anyone know how I would have my application open a specific page?

Answer 1

Looking at That Stupid Car Dock App post, they seem to have code showing how launch the intent and switch between the dock state.

You can launch startActivity to load your application when dock state is set to Intent.EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_CAR

Hope this helps.

Answer 2
