Public methods

makeMainSelectorActivity

public static Intent makeMainSelectorActivity (String selectorAction, 
                String selectorCategory)

Make an Intent for the main activity of an application, without specifying a specific activity to run but giving a selector to find the activity. This results in a final Intent that is structured the same as when the application is launched from Home. For anything else that wants to launch an application in the same way, it is important that they use an Intent structured the same way, and can use this function to ensure this is the case.

The returned Intent has Intent.ACTION_MAIN as its action, and includes the category Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER. This does not have Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK set, though typically you will want to do that through Intent.addFlags(int) on the returned Intent.

Parameters
`selectorAction`	`String`: The action name of the Intent's selector.
`selectorCategory`	`String`: The name of a category to add to the Intent's selector.

Returns
`Intent`	Returns a newly created Intent that can be used to launch the activity as a main application entry.
