SendIntent

Hello World

Intens can be used to perform an operation between different applications or activities.

app.SendIntent( packageName, className, action, category, uri, type, extras, options, callback )

It is basically a passive data structure holding an abstract description of an action to be performed.

package name and class name can specify the intent target, but you can also leave them null and define a category instead to let the user choose an application of that categoy.

If you expect a callback you have to pass the “result” option. The result code can be
-1: operation succeeded
1: user-defined activity results
0: operation canceled

Many common usage examples are shown in 09AppIntents.

For more information visit the Android Developer Page. There you can find informations about the activity, category and extra.
