csentry application called by another program

1. Is it possible for an external (outside CsEntry) application to start a CsEntry application?
2. Is it possible to close CsEntry when a CsEntry application stops? I mean, when an application stops it returns control to CsEntry, and CsEntry is still running. Can we stop CsEntry besides closing it by hand?

Would this be for desktop or Android?

[AriSilva]

That´s for Android.
In Windows it is easy, using .bat.

We register the PFF extension with the Android operating system, so if you have another application that you've written, you could open a specific PFF by doing something like this in your Java code:

Code: Select all

String mime_type = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(pff_filename);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(getShareableUriForFile(new File(pff_filename), activity), mime_type);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
activity.startActivity(intent);

Good, I´ll try it.
