makeMainSelectorActivity

@NonNull
open fun makeMainSelectorActivity(@NonNull selectorAction: String, @NonNull selectorCategory: String): Intent(source)

Make an Intent for the main activity of an application, without specifying a specific activity to run but giving a selector to find the activity. This results in a final Intent that is structured the same as when the application is launched from Home. For anything else that wants to launch an application in the same way, it is important that they use an Intent structured the same way, and can use this function to ensure this is the case.

The returned Intent has ACTION_MAIN as its action, and includes the category CATEGORY_LAUNCHER. This does not have FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK set, though typically you will want to do that through addFlags on the returned Intent.

Return

Returns a newly created Intent that can be used to launch the activity as a main application entry.

Parameters

selectorAction

The action name of the Intent's selector.

selectorCategory

The name of a category to add to the Intent's selector.
