Android API Guides 之 App Manifest（2） - <action>

<action>

SYNTAX:

<action android:name="string" />

CONTAINED IN:

<intent-filter>

DESCRIPTION:

Adds an action to an intent filter. An  <intent-filter> element must contain one or more  <action>elements. If it doesn't contain any, no Intent objects will get through the filter. See  Intents and Intent Filtersfor details on intent filters and the role of action specifications within a filter.

ATTRIBUTES:

android:name

The name of the action. Some standard actions are defined in the  Intent class as  ACTION_stringconstants. To assign one of these actions to this attribute, prepend " android.intent.action." to the  string that follows  ACTION_. For example, for  ACTION_MAIN, use " android.intent.action.MAIN" and for  ACTION_WEB_SEARCH, use " android.intent.action.WEB_SEARCH".

For actions you define, it's best to use the package name as a prefix to ensure uniqueness. For example, a TRANSMOGRIFY action might be specified as follows:

<action android:name="com.example.project.TRANSMOGRIFY" />
