Good evening  
Does anyone know how to do that; given a string of IMEI characters and compared to its value, if it is the same, give me the possibility to run a program in android?  
Thanks so much!!

Hello,

Check out the methods for the String class:

- [String \ Language (API) \ Processing 3+](https://processing.org/reference/String.html)

That answers the String part of the question.

The Processing JAVA version for PC has this:

- [launch() \ Language (API) \ Processing 3+](https://processing.org/reference/launch_.html)

I have not explored launching a program on an Android from a Processing app.
