How to get the intent filter of an android app

Question

I have a third party dictionary app. I want to open the dictionary from my app by passing a word. I want to know the intent-filter for the dictionary app in order to get the action (the app can perform) and the data (the diction can accept).

Answer 1

It seems that you would to at the very least know the Package name of the third-party application to do this. This prevents developers from an unauthorized use of third-party applications.
