Android :: Creating Intent With Action / Any Way To Filter Results
Jul 20, 2010
When creating an intent with action send to send some data, is there a way to filter the results that are included in the activity chooser that is created using Intent.createChooser? I have not seen a way to do this other than setting the mime type, but it is not flexible enough.
For example, there is a situation when I want e-mail apps to be the only results in the activity chooser dialog. Setting the type to "text/ html" successfully filters this down to email apps, except when bluetooth is enabled. Bluetooth appears in the list as well, but this is not desirable. Surely there is a way to have a little more control over the results?

I'm trying to catch an action like ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG. But I think it might be too much to set this action on the manifest file.
How could I register a listener for this action? I only need to care about it when my application is running not all the time as I think it would happen when registering it under the manifest file...

I have a Service defined in the manifest with an intent filter that refuses to match when specified as a String resource but works when the literal action is entered in the manifest. Is there any reason I should not be able to use a String resource with an action in an intent filter?

I thought that Action was preeminent during intent resolution and if the intent had the same action as the intent filter, it would be considered a match regardless of data, if the filter did not specify anything. So I was very surprised to find that supplying action+data where filter had only action, causes it to fail. In the code below, if you comment out line 47 so that data is *not* sent, only then it resolves correctly. To get it to work with the data (an id that is simply a String), what mime type should I specify in the intent filter?

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how Intents and intent-filters work, but it seems to me that this should be a strait-forward case. However it's not working. Here is the Intent I'm sending:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.connectsy.event");
startActivity(i);
And here is the intent-filter:
<activity android:name=".events.EventView">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.connectsy.event" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
And finally, the error I'm receiving:
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW typ=vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.connectsy.event }

I built an Android application that requires OAuth. All was working well using a custom scheme call back which is intercepted by Android. It seems that Yahoo have changed the goal posts and now the custom scheme is not accepted by Yahoo.I am now looking at possible alternate approaches. My first attempt is to use a normal http scheme and modify my intent filter to intercept the new URL. I have the following in my AndroidManifest.xml :
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
<data android:host="www.test.com" android:scheme="http"></data>
</intent-filter>
Where www.test.com will be substituted with a domain that I own. It seems :
* This filter is triggered when I click on a link on a page.
* It is not triggered on the redirect by Yahoo, the browser opens the website at www.test.com
* It is not triggered when I enter the domain name directly in the browser.
So can anybody help me with
* When exactly this intent-filter will be triggered?
* Any changes to the intent-filter or permissions that will widen the filter to apply to redirect requests?
* Any other approaches I could use?

I'm trying to figure out how to launch an activity in my app from a custom URI such as myapp://myuriactivity I've read a lot about the intent and intent filters in the android references and also read several examples, but for some reason I can't get my simple test to work. Below is my manifest file, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? With the below file, if I open the browser and try to navigate to http://org.test.launchtest it just says the page doesn't exist. Shouldn't this work?

I have looked at the intent-filter documentation and I can't figure out this specific intent-filter. I'm looking to use ACTION_SEND because I only want the app to show up in "Share" menus in other apps. I only want to show up in the share menu if the text of the intent is a url. For example, what is shared from the Android Browser's share menu. I don't want the app to appear in the share menu if it's just text and not a url.

I realise one has to use an intent filter to associate a file format with an application, but once this is done how does the app 'receive' the path to the file that was chosen? Is there a special method it calls on the Activity?

I'm registering an intent-filter on an activity to listen for url clicks from a certain domain:
CODE:.............
This works, but is there a way to filter out certain urls from my domain? For example, my app can only do something useful for the user if it gets a url like: www.mywebsite.com/orange
But if the user clicks on a link like: www.mywebsite.com/blue
I can't do anything useful for them, so I'd like to just let them continue using the browser to open that url. Is there a way I get a chance to see the URL before android pops up the chooser dialog and presents my app as a possible handler for the url? Is there some method in Activity which allows me to filter?

I'm using an intent-filter on URLs for my activity:
CODE:...............
the launchMode attribute is set to "singleTop", but it looks like a new activity is created every time I click a matching url. I thought that if the activity is already alive somewhere, it would simply be brought to the front of my activity stack?
I tried this on the emulator/device, same behavior, a new activity instance is always created.

Trying to grok intents and actions in android and looking through the documentation. But one thing I keep seeing is an intent filter with multiple actions defined.
Like this, from the above link:
CODE:...........
But, if you call that activity, how does it choose which action is chosen?
For that matter, that linked to example has multiple activities that all contain the same actions, "android.intent.action.VIEW" for example. When calling this with something like content://com.google.provider.NotePad/notes how does it even know which activity to use?

I'm trying to get a BroadcastReceiver invoked when the screen is turned on. In my AndroidManifest.xml I have specified:
<receiver android:name="IntentReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SCREEN_ON">
</action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
However it seems the receiver is never invoked (breakpoints don't fire, log statements ignored). I've swapped out SCREEN_ON for BOOT_COMPLETED for a test, and this does get invoked. This is in a 1.6 (SDK level 4) project. A Google Code Search revealed this, I downloaded the project and synced it, converted it to work with latest tools, but it too is not able to intercept that event.
http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#_8L9bayv7qE/trunk/phxandroid-intent-query/AndroidManifest.xml&q=android.intent.action.SCREEN_ON
Is this perhaps no longer supported? Previously I have been able to intercept this event successfully with a call to Context.registerReceiver() like so:
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// ... }
}, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON));
However this was performed by a long-living Service. Following sage advice from CommonsWare I have elected to try to remove the long-living Service and use different techniques. But I still need to detect the screen off and on events.

I want to set up a BroadcastReceiver to handle PACKAGE_REPLACED, but I only want to be notified when my package is replaced. It works fine if I specify a data tag with scheme="package" but then I get notified when any application is reinstalled or upgraded. I can't figure out how I'm supposed to specify the package name which is in the scheme specific part -- that is, when my BroadcastReceiver gets the intent in onRecieve(), if I do intent.getData().getSchemeSpecificPart(), that's the package name, but is there any way I can filter for only that in my intent-filter?

This question has been asked [numerous times] before, but I have not seen any definitive answers, or examples of code that actually works. I would like to associate an Activity with a particular file type. For discussion, assume that I want my Activity to be associated with PDFs. Here is what I currently have. I have experimented with many different values and combinations of values in the intent-filter, but I have yet to get my Activity to start when a PDF is selected.
<activity name="com.mycompany.MyActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="file" />
<data android:mimeType="application/pdf" />
<data android:pathPattern="*.pdf" />
<data android:host="*" />
</intent-filter> </activity>

In my very simple app (based on the default Hello World app but with a button added) I try to open one of my phone's (a SE X10 Mini) preinstalled activities, like this:
Intent calendarIntent = new Intent();
calendarIntent.setClassName("com.sonyericsson.calendar","com.sonyericsson.calendar.dayview.DayActivity");
startActivity(calendarIntent);
However, it does not work, I get the following error in the log:
E/AndroidRuntime( 2215): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent { cmp=com.sonyericsson.calendar/.dayview.DayActivity } from ProcessRecord{302cf238 2215:com.klibb.quickappointment/10079} (pid=2215, uid=10079) requires null

E/AndroidRuntime( 2215): at com.klibb.quickappointment.QuickAppointmentActivity$1.onClick(QuickAppointmentActivity.java:25)
Is there anything I can do about this or is this type of code a no-no? When searching the web I see people changing the intent filters in what I assume is their own app, but I obviously cannot change anything in a preinstalled app.

I'm trying to get an application / reciever / anything that can perform a task once every minute. I'm trying to use the intent-filter "android.intent.action.TIME_TICK" which, in theory, sends an Intent message every minute.
Does anyone have any code that uses the android.intent.action.TIME_TICK intent? I can't seem to get it to send the intent to my application and I can't find anything much on the internet. Has anyone used it successfully?
I have a manifest.xml as below.

I've got a receiver set up in my android application to catch android.intent.action.NOTIFICATION_REMOVE intents. On my Evo, it works fine - when a notification is cleared from the notification bar, I catch that event and can run some code. I tried running this on a Samsung Moment though, and it is never caught. So now I'm trying to figure out why, and I can't seem to find anything on Google about this intent action - and I set this code up a few months ago, so I don't remember where I even found this action, it doesn't seem to be in the API.
The evo is running 2.2, and the moment is running 2.1-update1, so I'm guessing that it's undocumented, and only available in 2.2. Is there any other way to catch an event that a notification has been cleared? Note that I'm not trying to cancel a notification that I put up, or trying to cancel another app's notification, just catch an event when a notification has been cleared.
Here's my receiver in AndroidManafest.xml:

I want to receive Intent "android.intent.action.SEND" in a Service. Is it possilbe to register for this Intent via registerReceiver() and get the Intent in Broadcast receiver in the Service?
Or is there any restrictions that "android.intent.action.SEND" can only be registered via Manifest.xml of an Activity and not in a Service?
