This is an odd question, but is there any way to run two separate applications inside one app? So, for example, run another application in a view inside of another app? Is this possible? If so, how is this done?
Thanks in advance!

I don't think this is possible. But that's what the Intent system is for. – Code-Apprentice Jul 11 '14 at 00:24

This may be done although it may go against the recommended way of doing things in Android
Android launch app inside view
How to create android app with app widget in single application
An easier alternative may be to launch an intent with the package address:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
i.setPackage("com.otherapp.package");
startActivity(i);
Launching Android app, within an app?
Launch an application from another application on Android
However, please note that, technically, the other app is still in its own process although you it appears to function within the original app.

Thats a great response and more inline of what I was looking for when I asked this question. Somehow it became an Intent issue. Great answer! This should be the accepted one. – portfoliobuilder Jan 14 '20 at 12:39
