Hi, looking at the Android documentaion, it seems you can broadcast an intent to an official intent reciever, or pass an intent to a specific activity to handle.
So far, so good, but it says that intents passed to intent recievers should handle the request quickly and without any GUI acitvity. So that leaves the first method - starting an activity by passing it an intent - as the way What about the situation where you want to start an activity to handle an intent (because it must take a while and use a GUI), but you dont know specifically which activity should do it? An example. One thing that classifies as an activity (or application in its own right) is a File Selector - something you use to pick a resource like a photo or a text file or something. It seems unreasonable for each applciation to duplicte file selection, you would want the file selection process to appear consistant throughout every applciation in the phone. i.e. make a request to <something> capable of file selection. How would you go about setting that up? And if you do, is it possible to replace the file selector with a different application and have the phone still work OK? cheers --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
