Intent filter and diffrent extra's

Question

Hi all, I have one activity in one application, which suppose to run another activity in another application, while passing to it an arguemnts|(Through putExtra)

the problem is" that i know that I must add something like:

Intent i = new Intent(target);
i.setAction("actionstring" + System.currentTimeMillis());

to the target intent(activity) so the system wont override the Extra's and ill get diffrent extra's each time i run the target activity.

But when i add the setAction i get an error:

couldnt find activity: No Activity found to handle Intent { action=actionstring1278829343752 flags=0x10000000 (has extras) }

Any idea how could i solve it with setAction? mybe something i have to add also to the manifest?

thanks,

ray.

You can not use setAction for what you're trying to achieve, you must use [putExtra][1].
