title: How to embed Skype in my App
body: <p>Zoopla have embedded Google Maps into their app (see the screen shot)</p>
  
  <p>Is this something you can do generally, i.e. embed any app in your own, or is it specific just to Google Maps?</p>
  
  <p>I want to do the same with Skype, is that possible?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I know how to launch Skype as a separate app using URI's, using ..</p>
  
  <pre><code>Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", "skype:some_skype_id");
  startActivity(intent);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... but I want Skype to appear as running within my app, in particular to keep my action bar visible at the top.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>Damian.</p>
