【Android 基础 2.3】Implicit intents

2018-11-14 10:31:21

Introduction

With an implicit intent, you active an activity without knowing which app or activity will handle the task.

Conversely, your activity can declare one or more intent filters in the AndroidManifest.xml file to advertise that the activity can accept implicit intents, and to define the types of intents that the activity will accept.

In this practical we’ll build an app that sends an implicit intent to perform each of the following tasks:

• Open a URL in a web browser.
• Open a location on a map.
• Share text.
• open camera

Open website

    fun openWebsite(view: View) {
        val url = website_edittext.text.toString()
        val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url))
        if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) != null) {
            startActivity(intent)
        } else {
            Log.d("ImplicitIntents", "Can't handle this intent!");
        }
    }

Open location

    fun openLocation(view: View) {
        val loc = location_edittext.text.toString()
        val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=$loc"))

        if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) != null) {
            startActivity(intent)
        } else {
            Log.d("ImplicitIntents", "Can't handle this intent!");
        }
    }

Share text

    fun shareText(view: View) {
        val text = share_edittext.text.toString()
        val mimeType = "text/plain"
        ShareCompat.IntentBuilder
            .from(this)
            .setType(mimeType)
            .setChooserTitle("Share this text with:")
            .setText(text)
            .startChooser()
    }

Take photo

    fun openCamera(view: View) {
        val intent = Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE)
        if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) != null) {
            startActivityForResult(intent, TAKE_PICTURE)
        } else {
            Log.d("ImplicitIntents", "Can't handle this intent!");
        }
    }


    override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
        if (requestCode == TAKE_PICTURE) {
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && data != null) {
                Log.d(TAG, "onActivityResult: ")
                val bitmap = data.extras["data"] as Bitmap
                picture.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
            }
        }
    }

Summary

• An implicit Intent allows you to activate an Activity if you know the action, but not the specific app or Activity that will handle that action.
• An Activity that can receive an implicit Intent must define Intent filters in the AndroidManifest.xml file that match one or more Intent actions and categories.
• The ShareCompat.IntentBuilder class makes it easy to build an implicit Intent for sharing data to social media or email.
