I need to communicate with other app through my ime,i wanted to run this code:

 Intent intent=new Intent("someaction");
        PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
        List activities = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent,
                PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
        boolean isIntentSafe = activities.size() > 0;

and the if isIntentSafe to use startActivityForResult ,but i can't do it through IME because it is not an activity, any suggestions how can I do this ?

startActivity starts an activity from another app ,so if call startActivityForResult from there the result will stay there i will not see it in InputMethodService

Thank you

`InputMethodService` is a `Service`, which is a `Context`. what's wrong with your code? – Jiang YD Apr 26 '16 at 08:45
i can't call startActivityForResult ,only startActivity. – Maxim Toyberman Apr 26 '16 at 08:47
then just start your own activity and call `startActivityForResult ` at `onCreate` – Jiang YD Apr 26 '16 at 08:48
ok thank you !, and is there an option to hide it so the user won't see it. – Maxim Toyberman Apr 26 '16 at 08:49
