Thanks for your reply - ha ha, wouldn't that be nice if it were that
simple. Nope, I checked the return from the Uri.parse - not null.
I got a hold of the Android source code. It is crashing here in
Activity.java:
public void startActivityForResult(Intent intent, int
requestCode) {
if (mParent == null) {
Instrumentation.ActivityResult ar =
----->>> mInstrumentation.execStartActivity(
this, mMainThread.getApplicationThread(), mToken,
th ....
intent, requestCode);
Apparently, mInstrumentation is null.
mInstrumentation is set in a routine called attach in Activity.java.
I am trying to launch the Activity inside a Service - I don't see
anything that says that's illegal. However, clearly, I'm not giving
Android something that it wants.
Still scratching my head on this one for the time being...
