Intent Overview
The core components of an Android application (its activities, services, and broadcast receivers) are activated
by intents. An intent is a bundle of information (an Intent object) describing a desired action - including the data
to be acted upon, the category of component that should perform the action, and other pertinent instructions.
Android locates an appropriate component to respond to the intent, launches a new instance of the component
if one is needed, and passes it the Intent object.
Components advertise their capabilities, the kinds of intents they can respond to, through intent filters. Since
the system must learn which intents a component can handle before it launches the component, intent filters
