group intent

android > intent

Services allowing to launch activities and start/stop services using

android.content.Intent for the android platform.

By default, API 10 is imported. Import more recent API to suit your needs.

There's two ways of defining which activity/service to be launched :

  • Provide an explicit class to be launched with set_class_name
  • Provide a description of the activity to perform and let the system determine the best application to run

To provide a description, you need to assign values using one or more of these methods :

The Intent class wraps most of the android.content.Intent constants and is designed to be used with this syntax :

  • Action : intent_action.main.to_s
  • Category : intent_category.home.to_s
  • Extra : intent_extra.phone_number.to_s
  • Flag : intent_flag.activity_brought_to_front

For further details about these constants meaning, refer to the official android Intent documentation :
