 +==== Does anybody know how to launch another application, e.g. "YouTube" from your own program? ====
 +I know how to launch web-browser, if smb needs I can explain. Also I've installed some applications to the emulator, except YouTube :(. By the way we know how to send data from one activity to another and few other features, that could be useful just ask, may be we've faced with it! Vadim.

 +A: A generic answer to this is that you need to know the intent filter of the started activity/application. When you know the intent filter you can always create intent that is going to match to the filter. Then, it is simply just a call on Context.startActivity(intent). All the "standard" platform applications and their AndroidManifest.xml files are in the public repository.
