For instance, if you build a social app that can share messages or photos with the user's friends, it's in your best interest to support the intent so users can initiate a "share" action from another app and launch your app to perform the action.
To allow other apps to start your activity, you need to add an element in your manifest file for the corresponding element.
When your app is installed on a device, the system identifies your intent filters and adds the information to an internal catalog of intents supported by all installed apps. When an app calls or , with an implicit intent, the system finds which activity (or activities) can respond to the intent.
In order to properly define which intents your activity can handle, each intent filter you add should be as specific as possible in terms of the type of action and data the activity accepts.
The system may send a given to an activity if that activity has an intent filter fulfills the following criteria of the object:
Specify this in your intent filter with the element. The value you specify in this element must be the full string name for the action, instead of the API constant (see the examples below).
Specify this in your intent filter with the element. Using one or more attributes in this element, you can specify just the MIME type, just a URI prefix, just a URI scheme, or a combination of these and others that indicate the data type accepted.
Note: If you don't need to declare specifics about the data (such as when your activity handles to other kind of "extra" data, instead of a URI), you should specify only the android:mimeType attribute to declare the type of data your activity handles, such as text/plain or image/jpeg.
Specify this in your intent filter with the element.
In your intent filter, you can declare which criteria your activity accepts by declaring each of them with corresponding XML elements nested in the element.
For example, here's an activity with an intent filter that handles the intent when the data type is either text or an image:
Each incoming intent specifies only one action and one data type, but it's OK to declare multiple instances of the , , and elements in each .
If any two pairs of action and data are mutually exclusive in their behaviors, you should create separate intent filters to specify which actions are acceptable when paired with which data types.
For example, suppose your activity handles both text and images for both the and intents. In this case, you must define two separate intent filters for the two actions because a intent must use the data to specify the recipient's address using the send or sendto URI scheme. For example:
Note: In order to receive implicit intents, you must include the category in the intent filter. The methods and treat all intents as if they contained the category. If you do not declare it, no implicit intents will resolve to your activity.
For more information about sending and receiving intents that perform social sharing behaviors, see the lesson about .
In order to decide what action to take in your activity, you can read the that was used to start it.
As your activity starts, call to retrieve the that started the activity. You can do so at any time during the lifecycle of the activity, but you should generally do so during early callbacks such as or .
For example:
@Overrideprotected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); // Get the intent that started this activity Intent intent = getIntent(); Uri data = intent.getData(); // Figure out what to do based on the intent type if (intent.getType().indexOf("image/") != -1) { // Handle intents with image data ... } else if (intent.getType().equals("text/plain")) { // Handle intents with text ... }} If you want to return a result to the activity that invoked yours, simply call to specify the result code and result . When your operation is done and the user should return to the original activity, call to close (and destroy) your activity. For example:
// Create intent to deliver some kind of result dataIntent result = new Intent("com.example.RESULT_ACTION", Uri.parse("content://result_uri");setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, result);finish(); You must always specify a result code with the result. Generally, it's either or . You can then provide additional data with an , as necessary.
Note: The result is set to by default. So, if the user presses the Back button before completing the action and before you set the result, the original activity receives the "canceled" result.
If you simply need to return an integer that indicates one of several result options, you can set the result code to any value higher than 0. If you use the result code to deliver an integer and you have no need to include the , you can call and pass only a result code. For example:
setResult(RESULT_COLOR_RED);finish();
In this case, there might be only a handful of possible results, so the result code is a locally defined integer (greater than 0). This works well when you're returning a result to an activity in your own app, because the activity that receives the result can reference the public constant to determine the value of the result code.
Note: There's no need to check whether your activity was started with or . Simply call if the intent that started your activity might expect a result. If the originating activity had called , then the system delivers it the result you supply to ; otherwise, the result is ignored.
