I have seen some of example where other application can start my application by package name. Due to security reason I want to prevent this kind of access for other application.
I want to prevent this (Open another application from your own (intent)) kind of acess
Edit
For Example, If thirdparty application knows my application's package name they can launch my app from their application like this way,
Intent i;
PackageManager manager = getPackageManager();
try {
i = manager.getLaunchIntentForPackage("app package name");
if (i == null)
throw new PackageManager.NameNotFoundException();
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
startActivity(i);
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
}
Now to prevent this, i have added export = "false" in my launching activity as well as added permission to lauching activity. Now due to this, it is preventing thirdparty app to launch my application but android OS launcher is also not able to launch application.
