Tell me more ×  I've been reading the AnyMot protocol and the
fling is mentioned wherein a second screen app can launch the
YouTube app. Could a tablet application launch say the Flixter,
Pandora or the Goolge Music app without it being a remote
control emulator. If so would the AnyMot protocol be what's
used?   share|improve this question add comment  1 Answer
Anymote is a very much adequate for that. If, you want to do an
app like "Able Remote", you'll need to put a small app on the TV
which will tell you what apps are present. But for what your
asking, it's doable w/ just Anymote.  share|improve this answer
Thank you Les, can you please provide any insight as to how my
app can determine what other apps are on the platform. I'm very
new to Android development. Once my app determines what other
apps are on the box can my app launch them? Can my app be
instructed to launch them via anymot protocols. –  TKPhillyBurb
