Usage with IntentLauncherClass.js

You can also use IntentLauncherClass.js directly in your project. Here's how to import and use it:

import { IntentLauncherClass } from '@angelkrak/react-native-intent-launcher'; 

// Example of how to launch an activity
const params = {
  action: 'android.settings.APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS',
  data: 'package:com.example'
};
IntentLauncherClass.startActivity(params);

// Example of how to launch a series of intents sequentially
const intents = [
  { action: 'android.settings.APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS', data: 'package:com.example' },
  {
    action: 'android.intent.action.VIEW',
    packageName: 'com.android.settings',
    className: 'com.android.settings.InstalledAppDetails',
    extra: {
      'com.android.settings.ApplicationPkgName': "com.example",
      'pkg': "com.example"
    }
  },
  'android.settings.MANAGE_APPLICATIONS_SETTINGS',
  'android.provider.Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS',
];
IntentLauncherClass.launchIntents(intents);

// Example of how to check if an application is installed
const packageName = 'com.android.chrome'; // Chrome application package
IntentLauncherClass.isAppInstalled(packageName)
  .then((result) => {
    console.log('The application is installed');
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.warn('The application is not installed', error);
  });

// Example of how to start another application by its package name
const packageName = 'com.android.chrome'; // Chrome application package
IntentLauncherClass.startAppByPackageName(packageName)
  .then((result) => {
    console.log('The application has been started');
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.warn('Failed to start the application', error);
  });
