Here is some sample code from one of my apps: Intent newIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); newIntent.setClass(this, ActivityListView.class); newIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); startActivity(newIntent);
A couple things to note: - This is code taken from a class that inherits from Activity, which inherits from Context. Context is the class that has the startActivity method - The setClass method sets the class of the Activity you want to launch - The call to setFlags is optional but is worth looking into as it can change the behavior of quite a bit - You would want to grab contact data from your current activity and add it to the intent via one of its overloaded putExtra methods Thanks, Justin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world...
