Apps help on custom launcher

[powerpoint45]

I'm going to make my own launcher such as go launcher and I need to know one thing. How do I make it so when you click home it goes to my launcher.My guess is that I need an intent that is the same as the default launcher,But I don't know what the intent is... please help...thank you

Don't bother if you are asking this question. You need a HUGE database of knowledge and coding to make your own launcher.

Ok let me word this different... All I need to do is make it so when I click the home button the complete action using dialog appears with my application listed. I found this but I'm not sure how to apply it

Oh and not to be rude at all, but I'm not going to give up

I still don't understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to make your own launcher?

I just want to replace my home screen for now...just a test..but yes after that I am just going to make a very simple launcher.So I just need my app to open when I click home for now.

I got it working,hell yeah!!!

I put this in manifest




<activity
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:name=".myhomescreen" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
