Phonegap - Android - call/launch an app from another

Is it possible to launch one app from another using Phonegap? We want to call a player app from a store app?

We also need the 2nd app to be able to return a variable to a script in the first app.

Cheers Paul

Yes, it is possible but you'll probably end up needing to write a plugin to call an Android Intent. Many of the core PhoneGap API's like Camera use Intents.
