An intent allows you to start an activity in another app by describing a simple action you'd like to perform (such as "view a map" or "take a picture") in an Intent object. This type of intent is called an implicit intent because it does not specify the app component to start, but instead specifies an action and provides some data with which to perform the action.
Intent允许你通过一个描述你想执行的动作(比如“查看地图”或是“拍照”)的Intent对象打开其他应用的activity,这种intent被称为隐式Intent,以为它没有指定要启动某个具体的应用组建,而是指定一个“动作”并提供一些数据以执行这个动作。
When you call startActivity() or startActivityForResult() and pass it an implicit intent, the system resolves the intent to an app that can handle the intent and starts its corresponding Activity. If there's more than one app that can handle the intent, the system presents the user with a dialog to pick which app to use.
当你调用 startActivity() 或 startActivityForResult() 并提供一个隐式的Intent的时候,系统会启动能处理这个Intent的应用的Activity。如果有多个这样的Activity,系统会提供一个可以让用户自己选择要使用的应用的对话框。
This page describes several implicit intents that you can use to perform common actions, organized by the type of app that handles the intent. Each section also shows how you can create an intent filter to advertise your app's ability to perform the same action.
本文会介绍一些执行常用动作的隐式Intent。每个部分也会演示怎么创建一个Intent过滤器来处理一些动作。
Caution: If there are no apps on the device that can receive the implicit intent, your app will crash when it calls startActivity(). To first verify that an app exists to receive the intent, call resolveActivity() on your Intent object. If the result is non-null, there is at least one app that can handle the intent and it's safe to call startActivity(). If the result is null, you should not use the intent and, if possible, you should disable the feature that invokes the intent.

Action:
- ACTION_SENDTO (for no attachment) or
- ACTION_SEND (for one attachment) or
- ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE (for multiple attachments)
Data URI Scheme:None
MIME Type
- "text/plain"

Extras:
- Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL:A string array of all "To" recipient email addresses.
- Intent.EXTRA_CC:A string array of all "CC" recipient email addresses.
- Intent.EXTRA_BCC:A string array of all "BCC" recipient email addresses.
- Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT:A string with the email subject.
- Intent.EXTRA_TEXT A string with the body of the email.
- Intent.EXTRA_STREAM:A Uri pointing to the attachment. If using the ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE action, this should instead be an ArrayList containing multiple Uri objects.
例子:
If you want to ensure that your intent is handled only by an email app (and not other text messaging or social apps), then use the ACTION_SENDTO action and include the "mailto:" data scheme. For example:
过滤器示例:
To request that the user select a file such as a document or photo and return a reference to your app, use the ACTION_GET_CONTENT action and specify your desired MIME type. The file reference returned to your app is transient to your activity's current lifecycle, so if you want to access it later you must import a copy that you can read later. This intent also allows the user to create a new file in the process (for example, instead of selecting an existing photo, the user can capture a new photo with the camera).
The result intent delivered to your onActivityResult() method includes data with a URI pointing to the file. The URI could be anything, such as an http: URI, file: URI, or content: URI. However, if you'd like to restrict selectable files to only those that are accessible from a content provider (a content: URI) and that are available as a file stream with openFileDescriptor(), you should add the CATEGORY_OPENABLE category to your intent.
On Android 4.3 (API level 18) and higher, you can also allow the user to select multiple files by adding EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE to the intent, set to true. You can then access each of the selected files in a ClipData object returned by getClipData().
描述:
Action:ACTION_GET_CONTENT
Data URI Scheme:None
MIME Type:The MIME type corresponding to the file type the user should select.
Extras:
- EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE:A boolean declaring whether the user can select more than one file at a time.
- EXTRA_LOCAL_ONLY:A boolean that declares whether the returned file must be available directly from the device, rather than requiring a download from a remote service.
Category (optional):
- CATEGORY_OPENABLE:To return only "openable" files that can be represented as a file stream with openFileDescriptor().

过滤器示例(返回照片):
Instead of retrieving a copy of a file that you must import to your app (by using the ACTION_GET_CONTENT action), when running on Android 4.4 or higher, you can instead request to open a file that's managed by another app by using the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT action and specifying a MIME type. To also allow the user to instead create a new document that your app can write to, use the ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT action instead. For example, instead of selecting from existing PDF documents, the ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT intent allows users to select where they'd like to create a new document (within another app that manages the document's storage)—your app then receives the URI location of where it can write the new document.
Whereas the intent delivered to your onActivityResult() method from the ACTION_GET_CONTENT action may return a URI of any type, the result intent from ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT and ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT always specify the chosen file as a content: URI that's backed by a DocumentsProvider. You can open the file with openFileDescriptor() and query its details using columns from DocumentsContract.Document.
The returned URI grants your app long-term read access to the file (also possibly with write access). So the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT action is particularly useful (instead of using ACTION_GET_CONTENT) when you want to read an existing file without making a copy into your app, or when you want to open and edit a file in place.
You can also allow the user to select multiple files by adding EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE to the intent, set to true. If the user selects just one item, then you can retrieve the item from getData(). If the user selects more than one item, then getData() returns null and you must instead retrieve each item from a ClipData object that is returned by getClipData().
Note: Your intent must specify a MIME type and must declare the CATEGORY_OPENABLE category. If appropriate, you can specify more than one MIME type by adding an array of MIME types with the EXTRA_MIME_TYPES extra—if you do so, you must set the primary MIME type in setType() to "*/*".
描述:
Action:
- ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT or
- ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT
Data URI Scheme:None
MIME Type :The MIME type corresponding to the file type the user should select.
Extras :
- EXTRA_MIME_TYPES:An array of MIME types corresponding to the types of files your app is requesting. When you use this extra, you must set the primary MIME type in setType() to "*/*".
- EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE:A boolean that declares whether the user can select more than one file at a time.
- EXTRA_TITLE:For use with ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT to specify an initial file name.
- EXTRA_LOCAL_ONLY:A boolean that declares whether the returned file must be available directly from the device, rather than requiring a download from a remote service.
Category:
- CATEGORY_OPENABLE:To return only "openable" files that can be represented as a file stream with openFileDescriptor().
例子(照片):
Third party apps cannot actually respond to an intent with the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT action. Instead, the system receives this intent and displays all the files available from various apps in a unified user interface.
To provide your app's files in this UI and allow other apps to open them, you must implement a DocumentsProvider and include an intent filter for PROVIDER_INTERFACE ("android.content.action.DOCUMENTS_PROVIDER"). For example:
For more information about how to make the files managed by your app openable from other apps, read the Storage Access Framework guide.
Note: Apps must ask for confirmation from the user before completing the action.

To play music based on a search query, use the INTENT_ACTION_MEDIA_PLAY_FROM_SEARCH intent. An app may fire this intent in response to the user's voice command to play music. The receiving app for this intent performs a search within its inventory to match existing content to the given query and starts playing that content.
This intent should include the EXTRA_MEDIA_FOCUS string extra, which specifies the inteded search mode. For example, the search mode can specify whether the search is for an artist name or song name.
描述:
Action:INTENT_ACTION_MEDIA_PLAY_FROM_SEARCH
Data URI Scheme:None
MIME Type:None
Extras:
MediaStore.EXTRA_MEDIA_FOCUS (required):
Indicates the search mode (whether the user is looking for a particular artist, album, song, or playlist). Most search modes take additional extras. For example, if the user is interested in listening to a particular song, the intent might have three additional extras: the song title, the artist, and the album. This intent supports the following search modes for each value of EXTRA_MEDIA_FOCUS:
Any - "vnd.android.cursor.item/*"
Play any music. The receiving app should play some music based on a smart choice, such as the last playlist the user listened to.
Additional extras:
- QUERY (required) - An empty string. This extra is always provided for backward compatibility: existing apps that do not know about search modes can process this intent as an unstructured search.
Unstructured - "vnd.android.cursor.item/*"
Play a particular song, album or genre from an unstructured search query. Apps may generate an intent with this search mode when they can't identify the type of content the user wants to listen to. Apps should use more specific search modes when possible.
Additional extras:
- QUERY (required) - A string that contains any combination of: the artist, the album, the song name, or the genre.
Genre - Audio.Genres.ENTRY_CONTENT_TYPE
Play music of a particular genre.
Additional extras:
- "android.intent.extra.genre" (required) - The genre.
- QUERY (required) - The genre. This extra is always provided for backward compatibility: existing apps that do not know about search modes can process this intent as an unstructured search.
Artist - Audio.Artists.ENTRY_CONTENT_TYPE
Play music from a particular artist.
Additional extras:
- EXTRA_MEDIA_ARTIST (required) - The artist.
- "android.intent.extra.genre" - The genre.
- QUERY (required) - A string that contains any combination of the artist or the genre. This extra is always provided for backward compatibility: existing apps that do not know about search modes can process this intent as an unstructured search.
Album - Audio.Albums.ENTRY_CONTENT_TYPE
Play music from a particular album.
Additional extras:
- EXTRA_MEDIA_ALBUM (required) - The album.
- EXTRA_MEDIA_ARTIST - The artist.
- "android.intent.extra.genre" - The genre.
- QUERY (required) - A string that contains any combination of the album or the artist. This extra is always provided for backward compatibility: existing apps that do not know about search modes can process this intent as an unstructured search.
Song - "vnd.android.cursor.item/audio"
Play a particular song.
Additional extras:
- EXTRA_MEDIA_ALBUM - The album.
- EXTRA_MEDIA_ARTIST - The artist.
- "android.intent.extra.genre" - The genre.
- EXTRA_MEDIA_TITLE (required) - The song name.
- QUERY (required) - A string that contains any combination of: the album, the artist, the genre, or the title. This extra is always provided for backward compatibility: existing apps that do not know about search modes can process this intent as an unstructured search.
Playlist - Audio.Playlists.ENTRY_CONTENT_TYPE
Play a particular playlist or a playlist that matches some criteria specified by additional extras.
Additional extras:
- EXTRA_MEDIA_ALBUM - The album.
- EXTRA_MEDIA_ARTIST - The artist.

例子:
If the user wants to listen to music from a particular artist, a search app may generate the following intent:
过滤器示例:
When handling this intent, your activity should check the value of the EXTRA_MEDIA_FOCUS extra in the incoming Intent to determine the search mode. Once your activity has identified the search mode, it should read the values of the additional extras for that particular search mode. With this information your app can then perform the search within its inventory to play the content that matches the search query. For example:

To open the phone app and dial a phone number, use the ACTION_DIAL action and specify a phone number using the URI scheme defined below. When the phone app opens, it displays the phone number but the user must press the Call button to begin the phone call.
To place a phone call directly, use the ACTION_CALL action and specify a phone number using the URI scheme defined below. When the phone app opens, it begins the phone call; the user does not need to press the Call button.
The ACTION_CALL action requires that you add the CALL_PHONE permission to your manifest file:
描述:
Action:
- ACTION_DIAL - Opens the dialer or phone app.
- ACTION_CALL - Places a phone call (requires the CALL_PHONE permission)
Data URI Scheme:
- tel:<phone-number>
- voicemail:<phone-number>
MIME Type:None
Valid telephone numbers are those defined in the IETF RFC 3966. Valid examples include the following:
- tel:2125551212
- tel:(212) 555 1212
The Phone's dialer is good at normalizing schemes, such as telephone numbers. So the scheme described isn't strictly required in the Uri.parse() method. However, if you have not tried a scheme or are unsure whether it can be handled, use the Uri.fromParts() method instead.
