I'd like to embed the app drawer within an activity/layout in my android app. Has anyone seen an example of how this can be done?
I did a StackOverflow search and I wasn't able to find anything useful...

Download DevApps Direct on your device. All the samples DevApps showcases are open source.
It has an example called "Sliding up Panel", with its code here.
But note that you'll also need to merge the code for this gridview example if you want to replicate the listing of the launcher icons in that panel just like the app drawer does.
I basically think this is a bad idea you shouldn't be launching other apps from inside your app unless it is a launcher. That said I've written a few. Grab my source here https://github.com/aospTV/TVLauncher-Gee

I want to automatically launch an application and click a button in it through another application like this.
I know it is some Accessibility settings needed to be enables for that app. But I don't know how to code it. I would appreciate the help. Thanks in advance
Icant understand exactly whats your goal but if i understood, Maybe you're looking for deeplinking
Flutter supports deep linking on iOS, Android, and web browsers. Opening a URL displays that screen in your app.
See the documentation here

I found some launchers that are able to run installed apps inside their own activity. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lwi.android.flapps )
This launcher adds their own functions like maximize, minimize etc. I guess they are creating widgets (because they need drawing over apps permission) and running inside them. But how :)
Can you show me how I can run another android application inside my own activity, widget etc. like this app did ?
Best,

I think the following documentation should help you out with learning how to get your app to interact with other apps: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents
Especially interesting to you would be the section on sending the user to another app: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents/sending
I want to be able to run my Android code/app on Windows/Mac/Linux/etc. but not use an emulator, as they are slow/cumbersome.
I want a real Java SE app, but to reuse my Android code.
My idea is to make an Android emulator using Swing, read the layout files and create the widgets in Swing and map between the 2 UI event models, life cycle, and library classes.
Question is, does such a thing exist already, I googled it, but could not find anything.
Otherwise I will start an open source project for it myself. Anyone interested in helping is more than welcome.
So I created an open source project "Swingdroid" that lets you run Android apps and Java swing desktop applications.
You don't need to use an emulator or change any code. It loads Android layout files and activities and renders them using Swing.
On GitHub here,

I totally agree with #muratgu. But, if you just want to parse Android layouts (views) xml files and render them using Java Swing, this is possible and this has already been implemented, before deciding to make your own implementation, you'd better check the wysiwyg feature of UI editor in Android Studio.
I am looking into the AOSP source code to see how WebViews are implemented. As far as I know, with Android 6, WebView is now a separate application of its own (called Android System Webview). However, in the external/chromium-webview folder I only have the apk files.
I found frameworks/base/core/java/webkit/WebView.java, which seems to be the WebView implementation, but I don't quite understand if this is the real implementation or just a stub. Is it this one, or the source code on chromium website that actually is the Android System WebView?
Also, how is it that an Android app can use the Android System Webview app to create a Webview in itself? How are they connected?
Finally, in the folder where I have webview.apk, readme mentions libwebviewchromium.so. What is that?
Thanks very much in advance.
I guess chromium is a separate project. They are building the apk and putting it in AOSP.
You should refer here-https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-android-webview
I ASSUME Web view is just a view...all the logic, parsing of html and other stuff is there in separate app...webview just binds to other app for all the logic...
I'am new here > i want some help to build some code but i can't find any code ..>

Actually assuming you have 1 activity name as MainActivity in src folder of eclipse
and xml file name as main in res->layout
then you have to add following code in your activity
setContentView(R.layout.main);
By this you can use contain in xml file

Update:
I see that you have edited the question with more details. But, I am not sure if there is a way to call your app automatically when some one starts another App in the device unless it's a system level app. What you can do is provide one public intent to be called by any other apps and then at load time, the app calls your intent and hence can display your layout/xml.
