Android intent Api

[appt2]

What should happen

Hello, can you create an api for ppsspp so that external programs can receive the game path directly through intents and then run it in ppsspp? I will give a sample code to receive the game from another program.

Intent intent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("org.ppsspp.ppsspp");
    if (intent != null) {
      intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
      intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
      intent.putExtra("org.ppsspp.ppsspp.GAMELUNCH", "/sdcard/downloads/godofwar.iso");
      startActivity(intent);
    }

We have this already, but not very well documented I suppose. I seem to recall that we did actually document it somewhere, but can't find it right now. In PpssppActivity.java in onCreate you can find the code that handles intents.

This issue can be about documenting it properly (or maybe making some change to make it easier to use).

Yes, I know, but since you didn't use AppCompat, this issue is very difficult. Accessibility, I suggest you use AppCompat and at least sdk 21. Now is the new age and 99% of users have powerful mobile phones.

Nope. Supporting every old phone is a bit of a point of pride at this point.

Also, it's unclear if AppCompat is compatible with the GPL.

I tested and the program was built well for me

I mean with the GPL license - is it allowed to link Appcompat with a GPL application and ship it?

Actually seems the answer is yes - it's Apache-licensed. I confused it with the other google library for admob and stuff which is not. So that's not an issue at least.

Don't think about these small things, there are few people who care about the license, if you look in my repository, you will see that the app that I develop is without any license, the quality of the app is more important, besides, you only called the activity class, if it is AppCompat SAF license is easier to get

I happen to care about licenses, and many contributors do too.

Moving on. How exactly would AppCompat help here?
