Is there any way to launch one application from another application in android and ios using worklight 6.2 or phonegap hybrid applications?

Question

I want to launch one application that already installed in my device from another application by some action like clicking on a button. I want to implement this both in android and ios applications as I am developing worklight hybrid application.

I want to know whether this is feasible in hybrid applications using IBM worklight or phonegap.

Let me know if any other information is needed on this.

If my answer helped you solve this issue, please mark as answered. — Idan Adar, Nov 01 '14 at 11:15

Yes. You can implement Cordova plug-in(s) that will do this.

See user documentation on creating Cordova plug-ins in Worklight: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mobile/worklight/getting-started.html#GS_native_to_hybrid

Here's a Worklight 6.2 demo project (instructions.txt inside), demonstartnig opening external (installed) apps in Android and iOS in different fashions: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5dd5hqvx8aplltc/6.2-OpenExternalAppProject%20.zip
