Answer 1

Use PackageManager

Intent intent = new Intent(this, YourTargetActivity.class);

// Check if there is at least one activity that can handle the intent packageManager = getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> activities = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);

if (!activities.isEmpty()) {
    // There's at least one activity that can handle this intent, so it's safe to start it
    startActivity(intent);
} else {
    // No activity can handle the intent, handle this case as needed (e.g., show an error message)
}
