out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
in.close();

private void launchComponent(String packageName, String name) {
// Name should be starting activity complete name with package name
Intent launch_intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
launch_intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");
launch_intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packageName, name));
launch_intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
this.startActivity(launch_intent);
