[android-developers] Re: App Add-on

Thanks for the reply. So, it is possible to setup the intent so the
app does not appear on the desktop? If so, how does the user run it
for the first time (to install the add-on)? I am fairly new to
Android development and not that experienced with setting up intents,
so any help in that direction would be most appreciated.

Thanks.
