Hi, Juan! An Intent is just a messenger object for abitrary data. It sounds like you are looking for an API call to register your application's Intent with the system; however, there is no such API. All you need to do is just create an Intent instance and set the fields on it. You never need to subclass Intent, or anything like that.
Hope that helps, - Dan On Fri, Mar 28, 2008 at 5:19 PM, jtaylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Where are there instructions to create a Custom Intent?
