Launch skype from an android app.
Hello, I am in the process of developing with android studio on LINUX (kubuntu), in java code .
I would like to launch skype from an application.
I use
Uri skypeUri = Uri.parse(mySkypeUri);
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, skypeUri);
myIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.skype4life", "com.skype.raider.Main"));
myIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
myContext.startActivity(myIntent);
When i run the application on my tablet device (not virtual) samsung galaxy tab s2 android version 7.0,
i get the "unfortunately the application has stopped to working".
when i replace com.skype.raider with com.skype4life, play store is launched and loading icon keeps spinning (no response).
Could some one help me?
Thank.
