Intent深入学习

启动活动有一种是startActivityForResult，这个需要掌握。

启动服务，总是使用显式意图。

intent  filter表示这个组件可能要接受的意图的类型。也就说，意图有type？？什么意思，如果不指定intent filter，只能显示启动了。

建立一个意图：

Component name:在显示意图，表示明确启动的类，使用setComponent,setClass,setClassName来设置，所以见过setClass设置的，

如果不加，就是隐式意图了。

Action：要执行的动作，比如ACTION_VIEW ACTION_SEND，一般可以作为被其他活动或应用启动，一般是定义在<intent-filter>中的

Data：在sunshine内容提供器的时候看到过，

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), DetailActivity.class)
.setData(itemUir);

startActivity(intent);

在DetailActivity的OnCreate中：getIntent().getData()获得保存的这个Uri，用来查询具体的信息。

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_detail);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
arguments.putParcelable(DetailFragment.DETAIL_URI, getIntent().getData());
DetailFragment fragment = new DetailFragment();
fragment.setArguments(arguments);
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.weather_detail_container, fragment)
.commit();
}
}

Category：和Action一起定义在<intent-filter>中，二者组合出现。

Extras:传递额外的信息，这个也常用。

Flags:没用到还

一般定义的话，最多就是这样了：或者最简单，连<intent-filter>都没有，都比较简单，不过用起来也不简单啊。

<activity android:name=".app.IsolatedService$Controller"
android:label="@string/activity_isolated_service_controller"
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:enabled="@bool/atLeastJellyBean">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.SAMPLE_CODE" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

使用隐式意图注意:

为了确保有一个能响应，先测试下：

// Create the text message with a string
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, textMessage);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");

// Verify that the intent will resolve to an activity
if (sendIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
    startActivity(sendIntent);
}

使用createChooser,展示标题，让用户选择

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
...

// Always use string resources for UI text.
// This says something like "Share this photo with"
String title = getResources().getString(R.string.chooser_title);
// Create intent to show the chooser dialog
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, title);

// Verify the original intent will resolve to at least one activity
if (sendIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
    startActivity(chooser);
}

intent-filer

<intent-filter>元素指定了接收的intent的type，以action，data和category为基础。

下面是一个例子：

<activity android:name="ShareActivity">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
        <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

如果intent要传递给组件，必须通过三个测试。一个组件可能有多个（？怎么定义）filter，所以只要通过一个就行。

服务不需要定义<intent-filter>.

对所有的活动，必须在Manifest文件中定义所有的intent filter。对于broadcast receiver可以动态注册通过调用registerReceiver。取消注册，

调用unregisterReceiver。

如果不想让其他应用访问我们的组件，使用intent-filter不是最安全是方式，应该是设置为exported=false才行。

下面这个例子：

<activity android:name="MainActivity">
    <!-- This activity is the main entry, should appear in app launcher -->
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

<activity android:name="ShareActivity">
    <!-- This activity handles "SEND" actions with text data -->
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
        <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
    </intent-filter>
    <!-- This activity also handles "SEND" and "SEND_MULTIPLE" with media data -->
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND_MULTIPLE"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
        <data android:mimeType="application/vnd.google.panorama360+jpg"/>
        <data android:mimeType="image/*"/>
        <data android:mimeType="video/*"/>
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

• The

  ACTION_MAIN

  action indicates this is the main entry point and does not expect any intent data.
• The

  CATEGORY_LAUNCHER

  category indicates that this activity's icon should be placed in the system's app launcher. If the

  <activity>

  element does not specify an icon with

  icon

  , then the system uses the icon from the

  <application>

  element.

这两个必须同时存在让一个活动出现在系统启动。

Note: The MIME type,

application/vnd.google.panorama360+jpg

, is a special data type that specifiespanoramic photos, which you can handle with the Googlepanorama APIs.

使用Pending Intent

一个Pending intent是一个intent的包装。基本是目的是给外部应用授予权限使用他包含的intent就像是从我们应用自己的进程执行的一样。
主要使用情况：

• Declare an intent to be executed when the user performs an action with your Notification (the Android system's

  NotificationManager

  executes the

  Intent

  ).
• Declare an intent to be executed when the user performs an action with your App Widget (the Home screen app executes the

  Intent

  ).
• Declare an intent to be executed at a specified time in the future (the Android system's

  AlarmManager

  executes the

  Intent

  ). 

一个是通知，用户点击这个通知打开的组件，pending intent包含的这个intent指定组件 sunshihe这样使用，下面会有介绍为什么这么用的？使用的TaskStackBuilder，需要学习，一般可以使用

PendingIntent.getActivity()

for an

Intent

that starts an

Activity

.

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(getContext())
.setSmallIcon(iconId)
.setContentText(contentText)
.setContentTitle(title);
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(getContext());
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
0, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(WEATHER_NOTIFICATION_ID, mBuilder.build());

第二个是使用app widget执行动作？这个还没见过？ 第三是指定一个在将来时间执行的intent，系统的AlarmManager执行这个intent sunshine用过的一个广播：

PendingIntent.getBroadcast()

for a

Intent

that starts an

BroadcastReceiver

.

Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(getActivity(), SunShineService.AlarmReceiver.class);
alarmIntent.putExtra(SunShineService.LOCATION_QUERY_EXTRA, location);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getActivity(), 0, alarmIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis() + 5000, pi);

同理启动服务:

PendingIntent.getService()

for an

Intent

that starts a

Service

.

Intent 解析

Action Test 可以定义0或多个action 如果一个<intent-filter>不包含任何action，那么所有的intent都匹配失败；但是一个intent如果没有指定action，那么他会通过测试（只要 这个intent-filter包含至少一个action）

Category Test

可以定义0或多个action

intent只要通过一个Category就过了，如果intent不指定Category，总是通过测试，无论定义的什么Category。

官方说是有一个默认的Category：

"android.intent.category.DEFAULT"，我们必须指定，

也就说，如果要隐式启动还是要指定的？但是感觉没指定也可以啊，可能是显式的问题？官方不会说错的。

注意了，默认给一个"android.intent.category.DEFAULT"。

Data test

暂时没遇到，有时间在看

To specify accepted intent data, an intent filter can declare zero or more

<data>

elements. For example:

<intent-filter>
    <data android:mimeType="video/mpeg" android:scheme="http" ... />
    <data android:mimeType="audio/mpeg" android:scheme="http" ... />
    ...
</intent-filter>

Each

<data>

element can specify a URI structure and a data type (MIME media type). There are separateattributes —

scheme

,

host

,

port

,and

path

— for each part of the URI:

<scheme>://<host>:<port>/<path>

For example:

content://com.example.project:200/folder/subfolder/etc

In this URI, the scheme is

content

, the host is

com.example.project

,the port is

200

, and the path is

folder/subfolder/etc

.

Each of these attributes is optional in a

<data>

element,but there are linear dependencies:

• If a scheme is not specified, the host is ignored.
• If a host is not specified, the port is ignored.
• If both the scheme and host are not specified, the path is ignored.

When the URI in an intent is compared to a URI specification in a filter,it's compared only to the parts of the URI included in the filter. For example:

• If a filter specifies only a scheme, all URIs with that scheme matchthe filter.
• If a filter specifies a scheme and an authority but no path, all URIswith the same scheme and authority pass the filter, regardless of their paths.
• If a filter specifies a scheme, an authority, and a path, only URIs with the same scheme,authority, and path pass the filter.

Note: A path specification cancontain a wildcard asterisk (*) to require only a partial match of the path name.

The data test compares both the URI and the MIME type in the intent to a URIand MIME type specified in the filter. The rules are as follows:

1. An intent that contains neither a URI nor a MIME type passes thetest only if the filter does not specify any URIs or MIME types.
2. An intent that contains a URI but no MIME type (neither explicit nor inferable from theURI) passes the test only if its URI matches the filter's URI formatand the filter likewise does not specify a MIME type.
3. An intent that contains a MIME type but not a URI passes the testonly if the filter lists the same MIME type and does not specify a URI format.
4. An intent that contains both a URI and a MIME type (either explicit or inferable from theURI) passes the MIME type part of the test only if thattype matches a type listed in the filter. It passes the URI part of the testeither if its URI matches a URI in the filter or if it has a

   content:

   or

   file:

   URI and the filter does not specify a URI. In other words,a component is presumed to support

   content:

   and

   file:

   data ifits filter lists only a MIME type.

This last rule, rule (d), reflects the expectationthat components are able to get local data from a file or content provider.Therefore, their filters can list just a data type and do not need to explicitlyname the

content:

and

file:

schemes.This is a typical case. A

<data>

elementlike the following, for example, tells Android that the component can get image data from a contentprovider and display it:

<intent-filter>
    <data android:mimeType="image/*" />
    ...
</intent-filter>

Because most available data is dispensed by content providers, filters thatspecify a data type but not a URI are perhaps the most common.

Another common configuration is filters with a scheme and a data type. Forexample, a

<data>

element like the following tells Android thatthe component can retrieve video data from the network in order to perform the action:

<intent-filter>
    <data android:scheme="http" android:type="video/*" />
    ...
</intent-filter>

Intent matching

Intent匹配intent filter不仅仅发现激活的目标组件，也可以找到设备上一系列复合intent条件的组件。PackageManager有一写query..()方法查询 返回所有接收一个特定intent的的组件，一些resolve...()方法，决定响应intent最好的组件。 对于活动

queryIntentActivities()

对于服务

queryIntentServices()

对于广播

queryBroadcastReceivers()

APIdemo使用了活动的，对这些查出来复合条件的挨个分类，这样一个类就可以显示，这设计很棒。

Intent mainIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
mainIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_SAMPLE_CODE);

PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> list = pm.queryIntentActivities(mainIntent, 0);
