i have tried:

intent = new intent(); i.setaction("com.company.sampleapp.action_do_something_1"); startactivityforresult(i, 100); 

but everytime,i getting following exception:

07-18 14:22:56.234: e/androidruntime(12051): caused by: android.content.activitynotfoundexception: no activity found handle intent { act=com.company.sampleapp.action_do_something_1 } 

please help.

i think missing <data android:mimetype="..."/> <intent-filter>.

try

<intent-filter>   <action android:name="com.company.sampleapp.action_do_something_1" />   <data android:mimetype="*/*"/>   <category android:name="android.intent.category.default" /> </intent-filter>
