Depends what you mean. You can launch an app from an app. You can use features from another app within an app. So basically you "can" it's just how you do it. Fred

Intents will launch the Readymade app from the BT app. URL schemes are used to launch apps with published schemes. APIs are used to incorporate features in your app Example: Google Maps API Fred

The 2nd apk needs to be installed on the device, no way around this that I know of. Are you using unity3d? If you were able to use an html5/javascript project builder instead then it would be possible to open it from the android assets directory. Performance is pretty lousy though unless it can take advantage of newer device hardware acceleration. Unity takes care of all that stuff though I believe?

Apparently unity3d does have a javascript build. Fred

@raveyd: Yes iam Using Unity3D for some 3D Vissualisations and Galerystuff not for Gaming. I Just bought the Android and the iOS Export. Iam Waiting for the New HTML5 & FlashPlugin. MayBe this is a Great Solution to Import that in BT Apps ;-)

Performance won't be such an issue then. Once you get the Unity HTML5 plugin up and running the project can be put in the Android assets and opened with a customURL. I've tried it with html5 games and it works fine. Good luck! :)
