This method can be used to know whether activity instance creation should be intercepted or not
for a particular activity in response to a given intent.
This method can be used to know whether activity instance creation should be intercepted or not
for a particular activity in response to a given intent.
Parameters
classLoader
ClassLoader: The ClassLoader with which to instantiate the object
className
String: The name of the class implementing the Activity object
intent
Intent: The Intent object that specified the activity class being instantiated.
Returns
boolean
true if activity with className should be intercepted, otherwise false.
