Yes, but... > And also what are the minimal intent filters that are needed? No intent filters are needed for an activity that is "to be invoked by its explicit component name". > What I noticed is the following: > > 1. The activity has to be in the manifest.xml > 2. It doesn't seem to need any additional filters Correct. Intent filters are only needed if you intend for your activity to respond to an intent, whether that be the LAUNCHER intent (so it shows up in the launcher), an intent representing an action to be performed against a piece of content you are providing, etc. If you don't need any of that, and you just want to start the activity by name, you do not need intent filters. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.4 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
