[Remocon] Interaction launching with package name #11

Open dwlee opened 10 years ago

Now, android remocon is easily able to launch the ros app using interaction without setting the remapping rule, parameter. But for using the interaction, The user must know the package name and main activity name. In this, the package name can be known easily. However the main activity name is difficult to find. So, we should the upgrade about launching the interaction with only package name for using many app as interaction.

Something is strange. Why does the remocon use the start activity name in package for launching the new app? The android is able to launch with only package name, not necessary activity name. Furthermore, it is uncomfortable to find the app at app market. (Finding the app in market, we have to use the only package name without activity name).

I think this is working because it will look up the 'Default Activity Name' in the apk. If you want to start a different activity, you'd need to exactly specify that here.

But all our apps use the default activity so far.
