Fire event when 3rd party app opened?

[Scratcher]

I am trying to fire an event when 3rd party app (not made with AI2) was opened. I know it's possible with ActivityStarter but I have to get the app's ResultName/ResultType/ResultUri. The problem is I have no idea where to get these, and I have no idea which apps uses the Result mechanism and which don't. Any ideas how to fire the event without having to use ActivityStarter?

Thx for help

When this happens, your own app is not active amymore, so you have to listen somehow to that in the background... for background tasks there is the itoo extension

However currently I do not know how this could be done...

Your question is not clear, do you want to know when a third part app was opened the device or you want to open them yourself through your app?

I want to know when the 3rd party app was opened by user of the device

Thanks, I already found that extension but I had no idea how to implement it, that was why I reached out to this forum....

Do not know how you might get at this programatically:

1. Open Phone app
2. Type: *#*#4636#*#*
3. Press Usage Statistics

Why do you want to know about that?
