Hi, I'm still in the process of grasping the true concept of intents. Surely I do understand that they are events and that they can propagate through the system. Obviously I'm not referring to the kind of intents used to fire Activities. Now, I'm trying to develop a local service, which one day I'd like to turn into a remote service, which is an abstraction of a xmpp chat library. First of all, can I use intents to loosely propagate exceptions, or rather exceptional events ? Imagine a login function located in a service that instead of throwing an exception or returning nothing, uses an intent to communicate to a LoginDialog that either the operation was successful or the exact opposite. Or how does a service
I might have totally misunderstood the true intent of intents ! ( pan intended this time ! ). is it just a means of interconnecting applications ? Could they be used to link software components ( still running within the same application ) as mere interface ? I am sensing a shift in the OO paradigm. Luka as an afterthought, am I the only one who thinks he's missing out on something that might dramatically improve app design ? Diane Larsen- Freeman, an applied linguist, believes that any grammar point can be thoroughly explained through the "form - meaning - use" formula. ... as I said ... just an afterthought. ps. I'd be grateful if you could provide examples along with your explanation. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
