How to integrate multiple apps into one using Android Studio

I am working on a project where I have to integrate two Android apps into one application using Android Studio IDE .

For example, I have App_A and App_B; these two android apps are composed of two separate vendors. Now I have to integrate App_B inside App_A. Hence there will be one AndroidManifest.xml file (from App_A) with MainActivity (launcher) and one apk will be generated.

So far, I have imported App_B as a module inside App_A. Now I can run each module separately. But I have to create one apk file which is made up of two modules.

I have searched various Android forums on the internet and so far I have not found a suitable solution.

First of all, I want to know if it is possible to integrate two Android apps from two different vendors into one Android app . If possible, please provide a solution to this problem. It would also be very helpful if you could send me your suggestions, ideas or links to this problem.

Thanks and greetings,

Deb

You can launch other applications from the main application. This is the same as integrating facebook, you declare com.facebook.LoginActivity

in your manifest. In the manifest file Project_A, declare the activity from Project_B. FB, for example:

 <activity
        android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
        android:name="com.facebook.LoginActivity"
        android:theme="@style/Vinted.NoActionBar"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"/>


Also don't forget to include Project_B in gradle, FB, for example:

compile('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.23.1')

Yes, you can do this:



  • Import the source code of a third-party application as a separate library module.

  • Change the section of dependencies

    your main module build.gradle

    to include a third party module as a dependency on this:

    compile project(':your_module_name_here')

If you just want to integrate App_A and App_B, just like your case, you can do this: select App_A and right-click

---> Open Module Settings

---> Modules

---> App_A

- → Dependencies

---> Plus

---> Module Dependency

---> select App_B

, and then OK

. But if you only want to export one APK

of the two Modules

, I'm afraid you have to add the activity&service&broadcast

thing AndroidManifest.xml

of App_B

to the App_A

manully category . and remove AndroidManifest.xml

from App_B

.
