The MIT app inventor is an Android app maker using Scratch style component block construction.

The reason I mention it here, is, that we are all aware of ZGE's strength - graphics, and also ZGE's weakness - GUI related.

The app inventor has a feature called the Activity Starter, which is supposed to connect to any other Android app, of any kind, so they say. I thought it may be handy.

Activity Starter is an interesting component. It uses the Intent SDK class to communicate to other applications. If requested by people I could try to implement an external library providing such a functionality, or would you prefer to have it in ZGE as component?
