Question - what is the right way to open the web browser?

[GYberkeley]

Is there a web browser intent that can be sent through this library?

EDIT: Also is there a way to fire custom intents? Like I want to open my launcher. Is there a way to fire that from this library?

To open browser you could use the native way:

Got it. Thank you! What about launching the launcher intent: 'android.intent.action.launcher'

Is there a way to do that?

I don't know if you need it's really a "custom intent", you could try openApp method:

Hmm.. So you're saying I could try SendIntentAndroid.openApp('android.intent.action.launcher'); and it might work?
