Activities using system application

[Tiago Stein D'agostini]

Hi

I am trying to make  one activity spawn  a system application, so that I can
use something that is already   ready, working and perfect and not re-write
it. But  when I try to make  the application spawn it (o.system("mane of
command")  )  the  activity  simply closes, with  no signals of what is
going on.

I already did it in the past,  several moths ago, starting up a text editor
for example, but i don  remember anymore  what was the secret.

can anyone help me?
