title: App inside an app
body: <p>Is it possible to run an application from inside another application? What I want to do is write an app which allows you to chose an app to start, and then displays the activities of this app inside a view.</p>
  
  <p>So in landscape mode, it should look something like this:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/nL85v.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p><strong>The idea behind this is:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I want to be able to start and run a third party activity next to my own activity, and I want to be able to create individual makros with my activity that are controlling the third party activity.</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>Basically, something like this:</em></strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Start third party activity from inside my app</li>
  <li>Start makro recording</li>
  <li>Do something in third party activity</li>
  <li>Stop makro recording</li>
  <li>Use makro whenever you wish</li>
  </ul>

  <p><strong><em>So how can I start and control another activity from inside my own activity?</em></strong></p>
