INTENTS & 2D SHAPES

INTENTS
• Android Intent is the message that is passed
between components such as activities,
content providers, broadcast receivers,
services etc.
• It is generally used with startActivity() method
to invoke activity, broadcast receivers etc.
Android intents are mainly used to:
• Start the service
• Launch an activity
• Display a web page
• Display a list of contacts
• Broadcast a message
• Dial a phone call etc.
 Types of Android Intents

1) Implicit Intent
• Implicit Intent doesn't specifiy the
component. In such case, intent provides
information of available components provided
by the system that is to be invoked.
Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("http://www.Google.com"));
startActivity(intent);
2) Explicit Intent
Explicit Intent specifies the component. In such
case, intent provides the external class to be
invoked.
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ActivityTwo.class);
startActivity(i);
MainActivityOne.java

import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;

public class FirstActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_first);
}
public void callSecondActivity(View view){
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), SecondActivity.class);
i.putExtra("Value1", "Android By Javatpoint");
i.putExtra("Value2", "Simple Tutorial");
// Set the request code to any code you like, you can identify the
// callback via this code
startActivity(i);
}

}
MainActivityTwo.java

import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class SecondActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
String value1 = extras.getString("Value1");

import android.view.View;
public class BasicprimitiveActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(new myview(this));
}
private class myview extends View
{
public myview(Context context)
{
super(context);
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas)
{
super.onDraw(canvas);
Paint paint=new Paint();
