Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Can an application be launched from another application, if both applications are installed on the same device?

Does the corona sdk support for this?

For iOS if the app supports being launched by a custom URL then yes.  See: http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2011/12/22/using-app-url-schemes-in-ios/

Then you can use system.openURL() to launch the other app if you know it’s URL scheme.

Android has a similar method See: http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/37105-handling-url-scheme-on-android/
