Intent的隐式方式启动Activity

Intent

在Android中intent是消息的载体，使用它来让组件(component)执行操作。其主要用途有三：

1.启动一个Activity

2.启动一个Service

3.派送broadcast

Intent有两种类型：

显式的Intent(Explicit intents)  隐式的Intent(Implicit intents)

在这里我要说明的是隐式的Intent启动Activity

MainActivity.java

<span style="color:#339999;">package xl.intent_filter.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
		initControl();
	}
	
	void initControl()
	{
		Button btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
		if(null != btn )
		{
			btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
				
				@Override
				public void onClick(View v) {
					// TODO Auto-generated method stub
					Intent intent = new Intent();
					intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
					intent.setType(getResources().getString(R.string.image_all));
					
					startActivity(intent);
				}
			});
		}
		
		Button btnbroad = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
		if(null != btnbroad){
			
			btnbroad.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
				
				@Override
				public void onClick(View v) {
					// TODO Auto-generated method stub
					Intent intent = new Intent();
					intent.setAction("action.send.xl.broadcast");					
					sendBroadcast(intent);
				}
			});
		}
		
		
	}

AndroidManifest.xml

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color:#3333ff;"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="xl.intent_filter.test"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
    
    
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" android:name="XLApplication">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name="ImplicitAcitivity">
            <intent-filter>
                </span><span style="color:#ff0000;"><category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /></span><span style="color:#3333ff;">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <data android:mimeType="@string/image_all"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <receiver android:name="XlBroadcastReceiver">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="action.send.xl.broadcast"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
    </application>

</manifest></span></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">
</span>

Note: Android automatically applies the the CATEGORY_DEFAULT category to all implicit intents passed tostartActivity() and startActivityForResult(). So if you want your activity to receive implicit intents, it must include a category for "android.intent.category.DEFAULT" in its intent filters (as shown in the previous<intent-filter> example.

在这里还要说明关于Intent-Filter的事情，如果在某一个Activity里就必须在AndroidManifest.xml文件中声明，

        <activity android:name="ImplicitAcitivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <data android:mimeType="@string/image_all"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

这个Activity同样可以用显式的Intent启动。

如果是针对BroadcastReceiver的话可以在代码中通过registerReceiver来注册，这样做的目的是为了当程序运行的时候才去监听某些事件。

        IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED);
        filter.addAction(SearchManager.INTENT_ACTION_SEARCHABLES_CHANGED);
        registerReceiver(mModel, filter);
