I am trying to learn to make a simple app that opens a couple of other apps to eliminate the need for another apps. I just can't figure it out. From reading here and other places it seems this should work. Button batteryhistory = (Button)findViewById(R.string.BatteryHistoryButtonDialog); batteryhistory.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { Intent i = new Intent(); ComponentName n = new ComponentName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.BatteryHistory"); i.setComponent(n); startActivity(i); Thanks so much for the help :D
