AppLink

AppLink is a project mainly written in Java, based on the GPL-3.0 license.

AppLink allows you to open some link to the most popular social network directly in the official Android application instead of open the browser.

For some features it's possible that the Super user (aka root) permission is required. That's because some Activitys are "private" and they are impossible to be launched by another application, so i use "am start" from shell.


  • Do you want to help? At the moment there are a few problems to solve: 1) Compatibility with more link/social network as possible. Let me know which. 2) Reverse enginering with the offial (proprietary) application for Android (the more difficult app is Facebook for Android). The reverse enginering is necessary to find the name of the right Activity to launch and the extra key nedded to pass. 3) A decent icon :) 4) Conversion from foursquare username to foursquare user_id (foursquare's api expert needed)

Send me an email if you want to collaborate.
