Summary

Inherited constants

From class Intent

String

ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED

Broadcast Action: The user has switched the phone into or out of Airplane Mode. One or more radios have been turned off or on. The intent will have the following extra value:

state - A boolean value indicating whether Airplane Mode is on. If true, then cell radio and possibly other radios such as bluetooth or WiFi may have also been turned off

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_ALL_APPS

Activity Action: List all available applications.

Input: Nothing.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_ANSWER

Activity Action: Handle an incoming phone call.

Input: nothing.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_APPLICATION_LOCALE_CHANGED

Broadcast Action: Locale of a particular app has changed.

This broadcast is explicitly sent to the android.content.pm.InstallSourceInfo#getInstallingPackageName installer of the app whose locale has changed.

The broadcast could also be received by manifest-declared receivers with android.permission.READ_APP_SPECIFIC_LOCALES

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

Includes the following extras:

EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME is the name of the package for which locale changed.
EXTRA_LOCALE_LIST contains locales that are currently set for specified app

String

ACTION_APPLICATION_PREFERENCES

An activity that provides a user interface for adjusting application preferences. Optional but recommended settings for all applications which have settings.

String

ACTION_APPLICATION_RESTRICTIONS_CHANGED

Broadcast Action: Sent after application restrictions are changed.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_APP_ERROR

Activity Action: The user pressed the "Report" button in the crash/ANR dialog. This intent is delivered to the package which installed the application, usually Google Play.

Input: No data is specified. The bug report is passed in using an EXTRA_BUG_REPORT field.

Output: Nothing.

String

ACTION_ASSIST

Activity Action: Perform assist action.

Input: EXTRA_ASSIST_PACKAGE, EXTRA_ASSIST_CONTEXT, can provide additional optional contextual information about where the user was when they requested the assist; EXTRA_REFERRER may be set with additional referrer information. Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_ATTACH_DATA

Used to indicate that some piece of data should be attached to some other place. For example, image data could be attached to a contact. It is up to the recipient to decide where the data should be attached; the intent does not specify the ultimate destination.

Input: getData is URI of data to be attached.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_AUTO_REVOKE_PERMISSIONS

Activity action: Launch UI to manage auto-revoke state. This is equivalent to Intent#ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS

Input: data should be a package-scheme Uri with a package name, whose auto-revoke state will be reviewed (mandatory). E.g. Uri.fromParts("package", packageName, null)

Output: Nothing.

String

ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED

Broadcast Action: This is a sticky broadcast containing the charging state, level, and other information about the battery. See android.os.BatteryManager for documentation on the contents of the Intent.

You cannot receive this through components declared in manifests, only by explicitly registering for it with Context.registerReceiver(). See ACTION_BATTERY_LOW, ACTION_BATTERY_OKAY, ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED, and ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED for distinct battery-related broadcasts that are sent and can be received through manifest receivers.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_BATTERY_LOW

Broadcast Action: Indicates low battery condition on the device. This broadcast corresponds to the "Low battery warning" system dialog.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_BATTERY_OKAY

Broadcast Action: Indicates the battery is now okay after being low. This will be sent after ACTION_BATTERY_LOW once the battery has gone back up to an okay state.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED

Broadcast Action: This is broadcast once, after the user has finished booting. It can be used to perform application-specific initialization, such as installing alarms. You must hold the android.Manifest.permission#RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission in order to receive this broadcast.

This broadcast is sent at boot by all devices (both with and without direct boot support). Upon receipt of this broadcast, the user is unlocked and both device-protected and credential-protected storage can accessed safely.

If you need to run while the user is still locked (before they've entered their lock pattern or PIN for the first time), you can listen for the ACTION_LOCKED_BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_BUG_REPORT

Activity Action: Show activity for reporting a bug.

Input: Nothing.

Output: Nothing.

String

ACTION_CALL

Activity Action: Perform a call to someone specified by the data.

Input: If nothing, an empty dialer is started; else getData is URI of a phone number to be dialed or a tel: URI of an explicit phone number.

Output: nothing.

Note: there will be restrictions on which applications can initiate a call; most applications should use the ACTION_DIAL.

Note: this Intent cannot be used to call emergency numbers. Applications can dial emergency numbers using ACTION_DIAL, however.

Note: This Intent can only be used to dial call forwarding MMI codes if the application using this intent is set as the default or system dialer. The system will treat any other application using this Intent for the purpose of dialing call forwarding MMI codes as if the ACTION_DIAL Intent was used instead.

Note: An app filling the android.app.role.RoleManager#ROLE_DIALER role should use android.telecom.TelecomManager#placeCall(Uri, Bundle) to place calls rather than relying on this intent.

Note: If your app targets M or higher and declares as using the android.Manifest.permission#CALL_PHONE permission which is not granted, then attempting to use this action will result in a java.lang.SecurityException.

String

ACTION_CALL_BUTTON

Activity Action: The user pressed the "call" button to go to the dialer or other appropriate UI for placing a call.

Input: Nothing.

Output: Nothing.

String

ACTION_CAMERA_BUTTON

Broadcast Action: The "Camera Button" was pressed. Includes a single extra field, EXTRA_KEY_EVENT, containing the key event that caused the broadcast.

String

ACTION_CARRIER_SETUP

Activity Action: Main entry point for carrier setup apps.

Carrier apps that provide an implementation for this action may be invoked to configure carrier service and typically require carrier privileges to fulfill their duties.

String

ACTION_CHOOSER

Activity Action: Display an activity chooser, allowing the user to pick what they want to before proceeding. This can be used as an alternative to the standard activity picker that is displayed by the system when you try to start an activity with multiple possible matches, with these differences in behavior:

You can specify the title that will appear in the activity chooser.
The user does not have the option to make one of the matching activities a preferred activity, and all possible activities will always be shown even if one of them is currently marked as the preferred activity.

This action should be used when the user will naturally expect to select an activity in order to proceed. An example if when not to use it is when the user clicks on a "mailto:" link. They would naturally expect to go directly to their mail app, so startActivity() should be called directly: it will either launch the current preferred app, or put up a dialog allowing the user to pick an app to use and optionally marking that as preferred.

In contrast, if the user is selecting a menu item to send a picture they are viewing to someone else, there are many different things they may want to do at this point: send it through e-mail, upload it to a web service, etc. In this case the CHOOSER action should be used, to always present to the user a list of the things they can do, with a nice title given by the caller such as "Send this photo with:".

If you need to grant URI permissions through a chooser, you must specify the permissions to be granted on the ACTION_CHOOSER Intent in addition to the EXTRA_INTENT inside. This means using setClipData to specify the URIs to be granted as well as FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION and/or FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION as appropriate.

As a convenience, an Intent of this form can be created with the #createChooser function.

Input: No data should be specified. get*Extra must have a EXTRA_INTENT field containing the Intent being executed, and can optionally have a EXTRA_TITLE field containing the title text to display in the chooser.

Output: Depends on the protocol of EXTRA_INTENT.

String

ACTION_CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS

Broadcast Action: This is broadcast when a user action should request a temporary system dialog to dismiss. Some examples of temporary system dialogs are the notification window-shade and the recent tasks dialog.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.BROADCAST_CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS

String

ACTION_CONFIGURATION_CHANGED

Broadcast Action: The current device android.content.res.Configuration (orientation, locale, etc) has changed. When such a change happens, the UIs (view hierarchy) will need to be rebuilt based on this new information; for the most part, applications don't need to worry about this, because the system will take care of stopping and restarting the application to make sure it sees the new changes. Some system code that can not be restarted will need to watch for this action and handle it appropriately.

You cannot receive this through components declared in manifests, only by explicitly registering for it with Context.registerReceiver().

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT

Activity Action: Allow the user to create a new document. When invoked, the system will display the various DocumentsProvider instances installed on the device, letting the user navigate through them. The returned document may be a newly created document with no content, or it may be an existing document with the requested MIME type.

Each document is represented as a content:// URI backed by a DocumentsProvider, which can be opened as a stream with ContentResolver.openFileDescriptor(Uri, String), or queried for android.provider.DocumentsContract.Document metadata.

Callers must indicate the concrete MIME type of the document being created by setting setType(java.lang.String). This MIME type cannot be changed after the document is created.

Callers can provide an initial display name through EXTRA_TITLE, but the user may change this value before creating the file.

Callers must include CATEGORY_OPENABLE in the Intent to obtain URIs that can be opened with ContentResolver.openFileDescriptor(Uri, String).

Callers can set a document URI through DocumentsContract.EXTRA_INITIAL_URI to indicate the initial location of documents navigator. System will do its best to launch the navigator in the specified document if it's a folder, or the folder that contains the specified document if not.

Output: The URI of the item that was created. This must be a content:// URI so that any receiver can access it.

String

ACTION_CREATE_NOTE

Activity Action: Starts a note-taking activity that can be used to create a note. This action can be used to start an activity on the lock screen. Activity should ensure to appropriately handle privacy sensitive data and features when launched on the lock screen. See android.app.KeyguardManager for lock screen checks.

String

ACTION_CREATE_REMINDER

Activity Action: Creates a reminder.

Input: EXTRA_TITLE The title of the reminder that will be shown to the user. EXTRA_TEXT The reminder text that will be shown to the user. The intent should at least specify a title or a text. EXTRA_TIME The time when the reminder will be shown to the user. The time is specified in milliseconds since the Epoch (optional).

Output: Nothing.

String

ACTION_CREATE_SHORTCUT

Activity Action: Creates a shortcut.

Input: Nothing.

Output: An Intent representing the android.content.pm.ShortcutInfo result.

For compatibility with older versions of android the intent may also contain three extras: SHORTCUT_INTENT (value: Intent), SHORTCUT_NAME (value: String), and SHORTCUT_ICON (value: Bitmap) or SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE (value: ShortcutIconResource).

String

ACTION_DATE_CHANGED

String

ACTION_DIAL

Activity Action: Dial a number as specified by the data. This shows a UI with the number being dialed, allowing the user to explicitly initiate the call.

Input: If nothing, an empty dialer is started; else getData is URI of a phone number to be dialed or a tel: URI of an explicit phone number.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_DOCK_EVENT

Broadcast Action: A sticky broadcast for changes in the physical docking state of the device.

The intent will have the following extra values:

EXTRA_DOCK_STATE - the current dock state, indicating which dock the device is physically in.

This is intended for monitoring the current physical dock state. See android.app.UiModeManager for the normal API dealing with dock mode changes.

String

ACTION_DREAMING_STARTED

Broadcast Action: Sent after the system starts dreaming.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system. It is only sent to registered receivers.

Input: getData is URI of data to be edited.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE

Broadcast Action: Resources for a set of packages (which were previously unavailable) are currently available since the media on which they exist is available. The extra data EXTRA_CHANGED_PACKAGE_LIST contains a list of packages whose availability changed. The extra data EXTRA_CHANGED_UID_LIST contains a list of uids of packages whose availability changed. Note that the packages in this list do not receive this broadcast. The specified set of packages are now available on the system.

Includes the following extras:

EXTRA_CHANGED_PACKAGE_LIST is the set of packages whose resources(were previously unavailable) are currently available. EXTRA_CHANGED_UID_LIST is the set of uids of the packages whose resources(were previously unavailable) are currently available.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_UNAVAILABLE

Broadcast Action: Resources for a set of packages are currently unavailable since the media on which they exist is unavailable. The extra data EXTRA_CHANGED_PACKAGE_LIST contains a list of packages whose availability changed. The extra data EXTRA_CHANGED_UID_LIST contains a list of uids of packages whose availability changed. The specified set of packages can no longer be launched and are practically unavailable on the system.

Inclues the following extras:

EXTRA_CHANGED_PACKAGE_LIST is the set of packages whose resources are no longer available. EXTRA_CHANGED_UID_LIST is the set of packages whose resources are no longer available.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_FACTORY_TEST

Activity Action: Main entry point for factory tests. Only used when the device is booting in factory test node. The implementing package must be installed in the system image.

Input: nothing

Output: nothing

String

ACTION_GET_CONTENT

Activity Action: Allow the user to select a particular kind of data and return it. This is different than ACTION_PICK in that here we just say what kind of data is desired, not a URI of existing data from which the user can pick. An ACTION_GET_CONTENT could allow the user to create the data as it runs (for example taking a picture or recording a sound), let them browse over the web and download the desired data, etc.

There are two main ways to use this action: if you want a specific kind of data, such as a person contact, you set the MIME type to the kind of data you want and launch it with Context.startActivity(Intent). The system will then launch the best application to select that kind of data for you.

You may also be interested in any of a set of types of content the user can pick. For example, an e-mail application that wants to allow the user to add an attachment to an e-mail message can use this action to bring up a list of all of the types of content the user can attach.

In this case, you should wrap the GET_CONTENT intent with a chooser (through #createChooser), which will give the proper interface for the user to pick how to send your data and allow you to specify a prompt indicating what they are doing. You will usually specify a broad MIME type (such as image/* or */*), resulting in a broad range of content types the user can select from.

When using such a broad GET_CONTENT action, it is often desirable to only pick from data that can be represented as a stream. This is accomplished by requiring the CATEGORY_OPENABLE in the Intent.

Callers can optionally specify EXTRA_LOCAL_ONLY to request that the launched content chooser only returns results representing data that is locally available on the device. For example, if this extra is set to true then an image picker should not show any pictures that are available from a remote server but not already on the local device (thus requiring they be downloaded when opened).

If the caller can handle multiple returned items (the user performing multiple selection), then it can specify EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE to indicate this.

Input: getType is the desired MIME type to retrieve. Note that no URI is supplied in the intent, as there are no constraints on where the returned data originally comes from. You may also include the CATEGORY_OPENABLE if you can only accept data that can be opened as a stream. You may use EXTRA_LOCAL_ONLY to limit content selection to local data. You may use EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE to allow the user to select multiple items.

Output: The URI of the item that was picked. This must be a content: URI so that any receiver can access it.

String

ACTION_GET_RESTRICTION_ENTRIES

Broadcast to a specific application to query any supported restrictions to impose on restricted users. The broadcast intent contains an extra with the currently persisted restrictions as a Bundle of key/value pairs. The value types can be Boolean, String or String[] depending on the restriction type.

The response should contain an extra EXTRA_RESTRICTIONS_LIST, which is of type ArrayList<RestrictionEntry>. It can also contain an extra EXTRA_RESTRICTIONS_INTENT, which is of type Intent. The activity specified by that intent will be launched for a result which must contain one of the extras EXTRA_RESTRICTIONS_LIST or EXTRA_RESTRICTIONS_BUNDLE. The keys and values of the returned restrictions will be persisted.

String

ACTION_GTALK_SERVICE_CONNECTED

Broadcast Action: A GTalk connection has been established.

String

ACTION_GTALK_SERVICE_DISCONNECTED

Broadcast Action: A GTalk connection has been disconnected.

String

ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG

Broadcast Action: Wired Headset plugged in or unplugged. Same as android.media.AudioManager#ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG, to be consulted for value and documentation.

If the minimum SDK version of your application is android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP, it is recommended to refer to the AudioManager constant in your receiver registration code instead.

String

ACTION_INPUT_METHOD_CHANGED

Broadcast Action: An input method has been changed.

String

ACTION_INSERT

Activity Action: Insert an empty item into the given container.

Input: getData is URI of the directory (vnd.android.cursor.dir/*) in which to place the data.

Output: URI of the new data that was created.

String

ACTION_INSERT_OR_EDIT

Activity Action: Pick an existing item, or insert a new item, and then edit it.

Input: getType is the desired MIME type of the item to create or edit. The extras can contain type specific data to pass through to the editing/creating activity.

Output: The URI of the item that was picked. This must be a content: URI so that any receiver can access it.

String

ACTION_INSTALL_FAILURE

Activity Action: Activity to handle split installation failures.

Splits may be installed dynamically. This happens when an Activity is launched, but the split that contains the application isn't installed. When a split is installed in this manner, the containing package usually doesn't know this is happening. However, if an error occurs during installation, the containing package can define a single activity handling this action to deal with such failures.

The activity handling this action must be in the base package.

Input: EXTRA_INTENT the original intent that started split installation. EXTRA_SPLIT_NAME the name of the split that failed to be installed.

String

ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE

Activity Action: Launch application installer.

Input: The data must be a content: URI at which the application can be retrieved. As of android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#JELLY_BEAN_MR1, you can also use "package:" to install an application for the current user that is already installed for another user. You can optionally supply EXTRA_INSTALLER_PACKAGE_NAME, EXTRA_NOT_UNKNOWN_SOURCE, EXTRA_ALLOW_REPLACE, and EXTRA_RETURN_RESULT.

Output: If EXTRA_RETURN_RESULT, returns whether the install succeeded.

Note:If your app is targeting API level higher than 25 you need to hold android.Manifest.permission#REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES in order to launch the application installer.

String

ACTION_LAUNCH_CAPTURE_CONTENT_ACTIVITY_FOR_NOTE

Activity Action: Use with startActivityForResult to start a system activity that captures content on the screen to take a screenshot and present it to the user for editing. The edited screenshot is saved on device and returned to the calling activity as a through getData(). User interaction is required to return the edited screenshot to the calling activity.

The response Intent may include additional data to "backlink" directly back to the application for which the screenshot was captured. If present, the application "backlink" can be retrieved via getClipData(). The data is present only if the user accepted to include the link information with the screenshot. The data can contain one of the following:

A deeplinking Uri or an Intent if the captured app integrates with android.app.assist.AssistContent.
Otherwise, a main launcher intent that launches the screenshotted application to its home screen.

The "backlink" to the screenshotted application will be set within ClipData, either as a Uri or an Intent if present.

This intent action requires the permission android.Manifest.permission#LAUNCH_CAPTURE_CONTENT_ACTIVITY_FOR_NOTE.

Callers should query StatusBarManager.canLaunchCaptureContentActivityForNote(Activity) before showing a UI element that allows users to trigger this flow.

Callers should query for EXTRA_CAPTURE_CONTENT_FOR_NOTE_STATUS_CODE in the response Intent to check if the request was a success.
Requires android.Manifest.permission#LAUNCH_CAPTURE_CONTENT_ACTIVITY_FOR_NOTE

String

ACTION_LOCALE_CHANGED

Broadcast Action: The receiver's effective locale has changed. This happens when the device locale, the receiving app's locale (set via android.app.LocaleManager#setApplicationLocales) or language tags of Regional preferences changed. Can be received by manifest-declared receivers.

If only the app locale changed, includes the following extras:

EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME is the name of the package for which locale changed.
EXTRA_LOCALE_LIST contains locales that are currently set for specified app

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_LOCKED_BOOT_COMPLETED

Broadcast Action: This is broadcast once, after the user has finished booting, but while still in the "locked" state. It can be used to perform application-specific initialization, such as installing alarms. You must hold the android.Manifest.permission#RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission in order to receive this broadcast.

This broadcast is sent immediately at boot by all devices (regardless of direct boot support) running android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#N or higher. Upon receipt of this broadcast, the user is still locked and only device-protected storage can be accessed safely. If you want to access credential-protected storage, you need to wait for the user to be unlocked (typically by entering their lock pattern or PIN for the first time), after which the ACTION_USER_UNLOCKED and ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED broadcasts are sent.

To receive this broadcast, your receiver component must be marked as being ComponentInfo.directBootAware.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_MAIN

Activity Action: Start as a main entry point, does not expect to receive data.

Input: nothing

Output: nothing

String

ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_ADDED

Broadcast sent to the primary user when an associated managed profile is added (the profile was created and is ready to be used). Carries an extra EXTRA_USER that specifies the UserHandle of the profile that was added. Only applications (for example Launchers) that need to display merged content across both primary and managed profiles need to worry about this broadcast. This is only sent to registered receivers, not manifest receivers.

String

ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_AVAILABLE

Broadcast sent to the primary user when an associated managed profile has become available. Currently this includes when the user disables quiet mode for the profile. Carries an extra EXTRA_USER that specifies the UserHandle of the profile. When quiet mode is changed, this broadcast will carry a boolean extra EXTRA_QUIET_MODE indicating the new state of quiet mode. This is only sent to registered receivers, not manifest receivers.

String

ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_REMOVED

Broadcast sent to the primary user when an associated managed profile is removed. Carries an extra EXTRA_USER that specifies the UserHandle of the profile that was removed. Only applications (for example Launchers) that need to display merged content across both primary and managed profiles need to worry about this broadcast. This is only sent to registered receivers, not manifest receivers.

String

ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_UNAVAILABLE

Broadcast sent to the primary user when an associated managed profile has become unavailable. Currently this includes when the user enables quiet mode for the profile. Carries an extra EXTRA_USER that specifies the UserHandle of the profile.

String

ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_UNLOCKED

Broadcast sent to the primary user when the credential-encrypted private storage for an associated managed profile is unlocked. Carries an extra EXTRA_USER that specifies the UserHandle of the profile that was unlocked. Only applications (for example Launchers) that need to display merged content across both primary and managed profiles need to worry about this broadcast. This is only sent to registered receivers, not manifest receivers.

Broadcast Action: A new version of your application has been installed over an existing one. This is only sent to the application that was replaced. It does not contain any additional data; to receive it, just use an intent filter for this action.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_SUSPENDED

Broadcast Action: Sent to a package that has been suspended by the system. This is sent whenever a package is put into a suspended state or any of its app extras change while in the suspended state.

Optionally includes the following extras:

EXTRA_SUSPENDED_PACKAGE_EXTRAS which is a Bundle which will contain useful information for the app being suspended.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system. This will be delivered to BroadcastReceiver components declared in the manifest.

String

ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_UNSUSPENDED

Broadcast Action: Sent to a package that has been unsuspended.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system. This will be delivered to BroadcastReceiver components declared in the manifest.

String

ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL

Broadcast Action: An outgoing call is about to be placed.

The Intent will have the following extra value:

android.content.Intent#EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER - the phone number dialed.

Starting in Android 15, this broadcast is no longer sent as an ordered broadcast. The resultData no longer has any effect and will not determine the actual routing of the call. Further, receivers of this broadcast do not get foreground priority and cannot launch background activities.

Once the broadcast is finished, the resultData is used as the actual number to call. If null, no call will be placed.

It is perfectly acceptable for multiple receivers to process the outgoing call in turn: for example, a parental control application might verify that the user is authorized to place the call at that time, then a number-rewriting application might add an area code if one was not specified.

For consistency, any receiver whose purpose is to prohibit phone calls should have a priority of 0, to ensure it will see the final phone number to be dialed. Any receiver whose purpose is to rewrite phone numbers to be called should have a positive priority. Negative priorities are reserved for the system for this broadcast; using them may cause problems.

Any BroadcastReceiver receiving this Intent must not abort the broadcast.

Emergency calls cannot be intercepted using this mechanism, and other calls cannot be modified to call emergency numbers using this mechanism.

Some apps (such as VoIP apps) may want to redirect the outgoing call to use their own service instead. Those apps should first prevent the call from being placed by setting resultData to null and then start their own app to make the call.

You must hold the android.Manifest.permission#PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS permission to receive this Intent.

Starting in Build.VERSION_CODES.VANILLA_ICE_CREAM, this broadcast is no longer sent as an ordered broadcast, and does not allow activity launches. This means that receivers may no longer change the phone number for the outgoing call, or cancel the outgoing call. This functionality is only possible using the android.telecom.CallRedirectionService API. Although background receivers are woken up to handle this intent, no guarantee is made as to the timeliness of the broadcast.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

If the user has chosen a android.telecom.CallRedirectionService to handle redirection of outgoing calls, this intent will NOT be sent as an ordered broadcast. This means that attempts to re-write the outgoing call by other apps using this intent will be ignored.

String

ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT

Activity Action: Allow the user to select and return one or more existing documents. When invoked, the system will display the various DocumentsProvider instances installed on the device, letting the user interactively navigate through them. These documents include local media, such as photos and video, and documents provided by installed cloud storage providers.

All selected documents are returned to the calling application with persistable read and write permission grants. If you want to maintain access to the documents across device reboots, you need to explicitly take the persistable permissions using ContentResolver.takePersistableUriPermission(Uri, int).

Callers must indicate the acceptable document MIME types through setType(java.lang.String). For example, to select photos, use image/*. If multiple disjoint MIME types are acceptable, define them in EXTRA_MIME_TYPES and setType(java.lang.String) to */*.

If the caller can handle multiple returned items (the user performing multiple selection), then you can specify EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE to indicate this.

Callers must include CATEGORY_OPENABLE in the Intent to obtain URIs that can be opened with ContentResolver.openFileDescriptor(Uri, String).

Output: The URI of the item that was picked, returned in getData(). This must be a content:// URI so that any receiver can access it. If multiple documents were selected, they are returned in getClipData().

String

ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE

Activity Action: Allow the user to pick a directory subtree. When invoked, the system will display the various DocumentsProvider instances installed on the device, letting the user navigate through them. Apps can fully manage documents within the returned directory.

To gain access to descendant (child, grandchild, etc) documents, use DocumentsContract.buildDocumentUriUsingTree(Uri, String) and DocumentsContract.buildChildDocumentsUriUsingTree(Uri, String) with the returned URI.

Output: The URI representing the selected directory tree.

String

ACTION_PACKAGE_UNSTOPPED

Broadcast Action: An application package that was previously in the stopped state has been started and is no longer considered stopped.

When a package is force-stopped, the ACTION_PACKAGE_RESTARTED broadcast is sent and the package in the stopped state cannot self-start for any reason unless there's an explicit request to start a component in the package. The ACTION_PACKAGE_UNSTOPPED broadcast is sent when such an explicit process start occurs and the package is taken out of the stopped state. The data contains the name of the package.

String

ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED

Broadcast Action: External power has been connected to the device. This is intended for applications that wish to register specifically to this notification. Unlike ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED, applications will be woken for this and so do not have to stay active to receive this notification. This action can be used to implement actions that wait until power is available to trigger.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED

Broadcast Action: External power has been removed from the device. This is intended for applications that wish to register specifically to this notification. Unlike ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED, applications will be woken for this and so do not have to stay active to receive this notification.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_POWER_USAGE_SUMMARY

Activity Action: Show power usage information to the user.

Input: Nothing.

Output: Nothing.

String

ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT

String

ACTION_PROFILE_ACCESSIBLE

Broadcast sent to the parent user when an associated profile has been started and unlocked. Carries an extra EXTRA_USER that specifies the UserHandle of the profile. This is only sent to registered receivers, not manifest receivers.

String

ACTION_PROFILE_ADDED

Broadcast sent to the parent user when an associated profile is added (the profile was created and is ready to be used). Carries an extra EXTRA_USER that specifies the UserHandle of the profile that was added.

This broadcast is similar to ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_ADDED but functions as a generic broadcast for all profile users. It is sent in addition to the ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_ADDED broadcast when a managed user is added.

Only applications (for example Launchers) that need to display merged content across both the parent user and its associated profiles need to worry about this broadcast. This is only sent to registered receivers created with android.content.Context#registerReceiver. It is not sent to manifest receivers.

String

ACTION_PROFILE_AVAILABLE

Broadcast sent to the primary user when an associated profile has become available. This is sent when a user disables quiet mode for the profile. Carries an extra EXTRA_USER that specifies the UserHandle of the profile. When quiet mode is changed, this broadcast will carry a boolean extra EXTRA_QUIET_MODE indicating the new state of quiet mode. This is only sent to registered receivers, not manifest receivers.

This broadcast is similar to ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_AVAILABLE but functions as a generic broadcast for all users of type android.os.UserManager#isProfile()}. In case of a managed profile, both ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_AVAILABLE and ACTION_PROFILE_AVAILABLE broadcasts are sent.

String

ACTION_PROFILE_INACCESSIBLE

Broadcast sent to the parent user when an associated profile has stopped. Carries an extra EXTRA_USER that specifies the UserHandle of the profile. This is only sent to registered receivers, not manifest receivers.

String

ACTION_PROFILE_REMOVED

Broadcast sent to the parent user when an associated profile is removed. Carries an extra EXTRA_USER that specifies the UserHandle of the profile that was removed.

This broadcast is similar to ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_REMOVED but functions as a generic broadcast for all profile users. It is sent in addition to the ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_REMOVED broadcast when a managed user is removed.

String

ACTION_PROFILE_UNAVAILABLE

Broadcast sent to the primary user when an associated profile has become unavailable. This is sent when a user enables quiet mode for the profile. Carries an extra EXTRA_USER that specifies the UserHandle of the profile. When quiet mode is changed, this broadcast will carry a boolean extra EXTRA_QUIET_MODE indicating the new state of quiet mode. This is only sent to registered receivers, not manifest receivers.

This broadcast is similar to ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_UNAVAILABLE but functions as a generic broadcast for all users of type android.os.UserManager#isProfile()}. In case of a managed profile, both ACTION_MANAGED_PROFILE_UNAVAILABLE and ACTION_PROFILE_UNAVAILABLE broadcasts are sent.

String

ACTION_PROVIDER_CHANGED

Broadcast Action: Some content providers have parts of their namespace where they publish new events or items that the user may be especially interested in. For these things, they may broadcast this action when the set of interesting items change. For example, GmailProvider sends this notification when the set of unread mail in the inbox changes.

The data of the intent identifies which part of which provider changed. When queried through the content resolver, the data URI will return the data set in question.

The intent will have the following extra values:

count - The number of items in the data set. This is the same as the number of items in the cursor returned by querying the data URI.

This intent will be sent at boot (if the count is non-zero) and when the data set changes. It is possible for the data set to change without the count changing (for example, if a new unread message arrives in the same sync operation in which a message is archived). The phone should still ring/vibrate/etc as normal in this case.

String

ACTION_QUICK_CLOCK

Sent when the user taps on the clock widget in the system's "quick settings" area.

String

ACTION_QUICK_VIEW

Activity Action: Quick view the data. Launches a quick viewer for a URI or a list of URIs.

Activities handling this intent action should handle the vast majority of MIME types rather than only specific ones.

Quick viewers must render the quick view image locally, and must not send file content outside current device.

Input: getData is a mandatory content URI of the item to preview. getClipData contains an optional list of content URIs if there is more than one item to preview. EXTRA_INDEX is an optional index of the URI in the clip data to show first. EXTRA_QUICK_VIEW_FEATURES is an optional extra indicating the features that can be shown in the quick view UI.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_REBOOT

String

ACTION_SAFETY_CENTER

Activity action: Launch UI to open the Safety Center, which highlights the user's security and privacy status.

String

ACTION_SCREEN_OFF

Broadcast Action: Sent when the device goes to sleep and becomes non-interactive.

For historical reasons, the name of this broadcast action refers to the power state of the screen but it is actually sent in response to changes in the overall interactive state of the device.

This broadcast is sent when the device becomes non-interactive which may have nothing to do with the screen turning off. To determine the actual state of the screen, use android.view.Display#getState.

See android.os.PowerManager#isInteractive for details.

You cannot receive this through components declared in manifests, only by explicitly registering for it with Context.registerReceiver().

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_SCREEN_ON

Broadcast Action: Sent when the device wakes up and becomes interactive.

For historical reasons, the name of this broadcast action refers to the power state of the screen but it is actually sent in response to changes in the overall interactive state of the device.

This broadcast is sent when the device becomes interactive which may have nothing to do with the screen turning on. To determine the actual state of the screen, use android.view.Display#getState.

See android.os.PowerManager#isInteractive for details.

You cannot receive this through components declared in manifests, only by explicitly registering for it with Context.registerReceiver().

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_SEARCH

Activity Action: Perform a search.

Input: getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY) is the text to search for. If empty, simply enter your search results Activity with the search UI activated.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_SEARCH_LONG_PRESS

Activity Action: Start action associated with long pressing on the search key.

Input: Nothing.

Output: Nothing.

String

ACTION_SEND

Activity Action: Deliver some data to someone else. Who the data is being delivered to is not specified; it is up to the receiver of this action to ask the user where the data should be sent.

When launching a SEND intent, you should usually wrap it in a chooser (through #createChooser), which will give the proper interface for the user to pick how to send your data and allow you to specify a prompt indicating what they are doing.

Input: getType is the MIME type of the data being sent. get*Extra can have either a EXTRA_TEXT or EXTRA_STREAM field, containing the data to be sent. If using EXTRA_TEXT, the MIME type should be "text/plain"; otherwise it should be the MIME type of the data in EXTRA_STREAM. Use */* if the MIME type is unknown (this will only allow senders that can handle generic data streams). If using EXTRA_TEXT, you can also optionally supply EXTRA_HTML_TEXT for clients to retrieve your text with HTML formatting.

As of android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#JELLY_BEAN, the data being sent can be supplied through setClipData(android.content.ClipData). This allows you to use FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION when sharing content: URIs and other advanced features of ClipData. If using this approach, you still must supply the same data through the EXTRA_TEXT or EXTRA_STREAM fields described below for compatibility with old applications. If you don't set a ClipData, it will be copied there for you when calling Context.startActivity(Intent).

Starting from android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O, if CATEGORY_TYPED_OPENABLE is passed, then the Uris passed in either EXTRA_STREAM or via setClipData(android.content.ClipData) may be openable only as asset typed files using ContentResolver.openTypedAssetFileDescriptor(Uri, String, Bundle).

Optional standard extras, which may be interpreted by some recipients as appropriate, are: EXTRA_EMAIL, EXTRA_CC, EXTRA_BCC, EXTRA_SUBJECT.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_SENDTO

Activity Action: Send a message to someone specified by the data.

Input: getData is URI describing the target.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE

Activity Action: Deliver multiple data to someone else.

Like ACTION_SEND, except the data is multiple.

Input: getType is the MIME type of the data being sent. get*ArrayListExtra can have either a EXTRA_TEXT or EXTRA_STREAM field, containing the data to be sent. If using EXTRA_TEXT, you can also optionally supply EXTRA_HTML_TEXT for clients to retrieve your text with HTML formatting.

Multiple types are supported, and receivers should handle mixed types whenever possible. The right way for the receiver to check them is to use the content resolver on each URI. The intent sender should try to put the most concrete mime type in the intent type, but it can fall back to <type>/* or */* as needed.

e.g. if you are sending image/jpg and image/jpg, the intent's type can be image/jpg, but if you are sending image/jpg and image/png, then the intent's type should be image/*.

Optional standard extras, which may be interpreted by some recipients as appropriate, are: EXTRA_EMAIL, EXTRA_CC, EXTRA_BCC, EXTRA_SUBJECT.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_SET_WALLPAPER

Activity Action: Show settings for choosing wallpaper.

Input: Nothing.

Output: Nothing.

String

ACTION_SHOW_APP_INFO

Activity Action: Launch an activity showing the app information. For applications which install other applications (such as app stores), it is recommended to handle this action for providing the app information to the user.

Input: EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME specifies the package whose information needs to be displayed.

Output: Nothing.

String

ACTION_SHOW_WORK_APPS

Activity Action: Action to show the list of all work apps in the launcher. For example, shows the work apps folder or tab.

Input: Nothing.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_SHUTDOWN

Broadcast Action: Device is shutting down. This is broadcast when the device is being shut down (completely turned off, not sleeping). Once the broadcast is complete, the final shutdown will proceed and all unsaved data lost. Apps will not normally need to handle this, since the foreground activity will be paused as well.

As of Build.VERSION_CODES.P this broadcast is only sent to receivers registered through Context.registerReceiver.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

May include the following extras:

EXTRA_SHUTDOWN_USERSPACE_ONLY a boolean that is set to true if this shutdown is only for userspace processes. If not set, assumed to be false.

String

ACTION_SYNC

Activity Action: Perform a data synchronization.

Input: ?

Output: ?

String

String

ACTION_TRANSLATE

Activity Action: Perform text translation.

Input: getCharSequence(EXTRA_TEXT) is the text to translate.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_UID_REMOVED

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_UMS_CONNECTED

Broadcast Action: The device has entered USB Mass Storage mode. This is used mainly for the USB Settings panel. Apps should listen for ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED and ACTION_MEDIA_UNMOUNTED broadcasts to be notified when the SD card file system is mounted or unmounted

String

ACTION_UMS_DISCONNECTED

Broadcast Action: The device has exited USB Mass Storage mode. This is used mainly for the USB Settings panel. Apps should listen for ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED and ACTION_MEDIA_UNMOUNTED broadcasts to be notified when the SD card file system is mounted or unmounted

String

ACTION_UNARCHIVE_PACKAGE

Broadcast Action: Sent to the responsible installer of an archived package when unarchival is requested.

String

ACTION_UNINSTALL_PACKAGE

Activity Action: Launch application uninstaller.

Input: The data must be a package: URI whose scheme specific part is the package name of the current installed package to be uninstalled. You can optionally supply EXTRA_RETURN_RESULT.

Output: If EXTRA_RETURN_RESULT, returns whether the uninstall succeeded.

Requires android.Manifest.permission#REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES since Build.VERSION_CODES.P.

String

ACTION_USER_BACKGROUND

Sent after a user switch is complete, if the switch caused the process's user to be sent to the background. This is only sent to receivers registered through Context.registerReceiver. It is sent to the user that is going to the background. This is sent as a foreground broadcast, since it is part of a visible user interaction; be as quick as possible when handling it.

String

ACTION_USER_FOREGROUND

Sent after a user switch is complete, if the switch caused the process's user to be brought to the foreground. This is only sent to receivers registered through Context.registerReceiver. It is sent to the user that is going to the foreground. This is sent as a foreground broadcast, since it is part of a visible user interaction; be as quick as possible when handling it.

String

ACTION_USER_INITIALIZE

Sent the first time a user is starting, to allow system apps to perform one time initialization. (This will not be seen by third party applications because a newly initialized user does not have any third party applications installed for it.) This is sent early in starting the user, around the time the home app is started, before ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED is sent. This is sent as a foreground broadcast, since it is part of a visible user interaction; be as quick as possible when handling it.

Note: This broadcast is not sent to the system user.

String

ACTION_USER_PRESENT

Broadcast Action: Sent when the user is present after device wakes up (e.g when the keyguard is gone).

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.

String

ACTION_USER_UNLOCKED

Broadcast Action: Sent when the credential-encrypted private storage has become unlocked for the target user. This is only sent to registered receivers, not manifest receivers.

Note: The user's actual state might have changed by the time the broadcast is received. For example, the user could have been removed, started or stopped already, regardless of which broadcast you receive. Because of that, receivers should always check the current state of the user.

String

ACTION_VIEW

Activity Action: Display the data to the user. This is the most common action performed on data -- it is the generic action you can use on a piece of data to get the most reasonable thing to occur. For example, when used on a contacts entry it will view the entry; when used on a mailto: URI it will bring up a compose window filled with the information supplied by the URI; when used with a tel: URI it will invoke the dialer.

Input: getData is URI from which to retrieve data.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_VIEW_LOCUS

Activity Action: Display an activity state associated with an unique LocusId.

For example, a chat app could use the context to resume a conversation between 2 users.

Output: nothing.

String

ACTION_VIEW_PERMISSION_USAGE

Activity action: Launch UI to show information about the usage of a given permission group. This action would be handled by apps that want to show details about how and why given permission group is being used.

Important:You must protect the activity that handles this action with the START_VIEW_PERMISSION_USAGE permission to ensure that only the system can launch this activity. The system will not launch activities that are not properly protected.

Input: EXTRA_PERMISSION_GROUP_NAME specifies the permission group for which the launched UI would be targeted.

Output: Nothing.

Requires android.Manifest.permission#START_VIEW_PERMISSION_USAGE

String

ACTION_VIEW_PERMISSION_USAGE_FOR_PERIOD

Activity action: Launch UI to show information about the usage of a given permission group in a given period. This action would be handled by apps that want to show details about how and why given permission group is being used.

Important:You must protect the activity that handles this action with the android.Manifest.permission#START_VIEW_PERMISSION_USAGE permission to ensure that only the system can launch this activity. The system will not launch activities that are not properly protected.

Input: EXTRA_PERMISSION_GROUP_NAME specifies the permission group for which the launched UI would be targeted.

Input: EXTRA_ATTRIBUTION_TAGS specifies the attribution tags for the usage entry.

Input: EXTRA_START_TIME specifies the start time of the period (epoch time in millis). Both start time and end time are needed and start time must be <= end time.

Input: EXTRA_END_TIME specifies the end time of the period (epoch time in millis). Both start time and end time are needed and start time must be <= end time.

Output: Nothing.

Requires android.Manifest.permission#START_VIEW_PERMISSION_USAGE

String

ACTION_VOICE_COMMAND

Activity Action: Start Voice Command.

Input: Nothing.

Output: Nothing.

In some cases, a matching Activity may not exist, so ensure you safeguard against this.

String

ACTION_WALLPAPER_CHANGED

Broadcast Action: The current system wallpaper has changed. See android.app.WallpaperManager for retrieving the new wallpaper. This should only be used to determine when the wallpaper has changed to show the new wallpaper to the user. You should certainly never, in response to this, change the wallpaper or other attributes of it such as the suggested size. That would be unexpected, right? You'd cause all kinds of loops, especially if other apps are doing similar things, right? Of course. So please don't do this.

String

ACTION_WEB_SEARCH

Activity Action: Perform a web search.

Input: getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY) is the text to search for. If it is a url starts with http or https, the site will be opened. If it is plain text, Google search will be applied.

Int

CAPTURE_CONTENT_FOR_NOTE_BLOCKED_BY_ADMIN

A response code used with EXTRA_CAPTURE_CONTENT_FOR_NOTE_STATUS_CODE to indicate that screenshot is blocked by IT admin.

Int

CAPTURE_CONTENT_FOR_NOTE_FAILED

A response code used with EXTRA_CAPTURE_CONTENT_FOR_NOTE_STATUS_CODE to indicate that something went wrong.

Int

CAPTURE_CONTENT_FOR_NOTE_SUCCESS

A response code used with EXTRA_CAPTURE_CONTENT_FOR_NOTE_STATUS_CODE to indicate that the request was a success.

This code will only be returned after the user has interacted with the system screenshot activity to consent to sharing the data with the note.

The captured screenshot is returned as a Uri through getData().

Int

CAPTURE_CONTENT_FOR_NOTE_USER_CANCELED

A response code used with EXTRA_CAPTURE_CONTENT_FOR_NOTE_STATUS_CODE to indicate that user canceled the content capture flow.

Int

CAPTURE_CONTENT_FOR_NOTE_WINDOW_MODE_UNSUPPORTED

A response code used with EXTRA_CAPTURE_CONTENT_FOR_NOTE_STATUS_CODE to indicate that the intent action ACTION_LAUNCH_CAPTURE_CONTENT_ACTIVITY_FOR_NOTE was started by an activity that is running in a non-supported window mode.

String

CATEGORY_ACCESSIBILITY_SHORTCUT_TARGET

The accessibility shortcut is a global gesture for users with disabilities to trigger an important for them accessibility feature to help developers determine whether they want to make their activity a shortcut target.

An activity of interest to users with accessibility needs may request to be the target of the accessibility shortcut. It handles intent ACTION_MAIN with this category, which will be dispatched by the system when the user activates the shortcut when it is configured to point at this target.

An activity declared itself to be a target of the shortcut in AndroidManifest.xml. It must also do two things:

android.intent.action.MAIN

android.content.Intent

android.intent.category.ACCESSIBILITY_SHORTCUT_TARGET

android.accessibilityshortcut.target

If either of these items is missing, the system will ignore the accessibility shortcut target. Following is an example declaration:

<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
  . . .
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.ACCESSIBILITY_SHORTCUT_TARGET" />
    </intent-filter>
    <meta-data android:name="android.accessibilityshortcut.target"
                    android:resource="@xml/accessibilityshortcut" />
  </activity>

This is a sample XML file configuring a accessibility shortcut target:

<accessibility-shortcut-target
      android:description="@string/shortcut_target_description"
      android:summary="@string/shortcut_target_summary"
      android:animatedImageDrawable="@drawable/shortcut_target_animated_image"
      android:htmlDescription="@string/shortcut_target_html_description"
      android:settingsActivity="com.example.android.shortcut.target.SettingsActivity" />

Both description and summary are necessary. The system will ignore the accessibility shortcut target if they are missing. The animated image and html description are supported to help users understand how to use the shortcut target. The settings activity is a component name that allows the user to modify the settings for this accessibility shortcut target.

String

CATEGORY_ALTERNATIVE

Set if the activity should be considered as an alternative action to the data the user is currently viewing. See also CATEGORY_SELECTED_ALTERNATIVE for an alternative action that applies to the selection in a list of items.

Supporting this category means that you would like your activity to be displayed in the set of alternative things the user can do, usually as part of the current activity's options menu. You will usually want to include a specific label in the <intent-filter> of this action describing to the user what it does.

The action of IntentFilter with this category is important in that it describes the specific action the target will perform. This generally should not be a generic action (such as ACTION_VIEW, but rather a specific name such as "com.android.camera.action.CROP. Only one alternative of any particular action will be shown to the user, so using a specific action like this makes sure that your alternative will be displayed while also allowing other applications to provide their own overrides of that particular action.

String

CATEGORY_APP_BROWSER

Used with ACTION_MAIN to launch the browser application. The activity should be able to browse the Internet.

NOTE: This should not be used as the primary key of an Intent, since it will not result in the app launching with the correct action and category. Instead, use this with makeMainSelectorActivity(java.lang.String,java.lang.String) to generate a main Intent with this category in the selector.

Used as a boolean extra field with ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE to install a package. Tells the installer UI to skip the confirmation with the user if the .apk is replacing an existing one.

String

EXTRA_ALTERNATE_INTENTS

An Intent[] describing additional, alternate choices you would like shown with ACTION_CHOOSER.

An app may be capable of providing several different payload types to complete a user's intended action. For example, an app invoking ACTION_SEND to share photos with another app may use EXTRA_ALTERNATE_INTENTS to have the chooser transparently offer several different supported sending mechanisms for sharing, such as the actual "image/*" photo data or a hosted link where the photos can be viewed.

The intent present in EXTRA_INTENT will be treated as the first/primary/preferred intent in the set. Additional intents specified in this extra are ordered; by default intents that appear earlier in the array will be preferred over intents that appear later in the array as matches for the same target component. To alter this preference, a calling app may also supply EXTRA_CHOOSER_REFINEMENT_INTENT_SENDER.

For example, this could be used to show photos being shared in the context of the user's entire photo roll, with the option to change the set of photos being shared.

When this is provided in an ACTION_CHOOSER Intent with an ACTION_SEND or ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE target Intent, the sharesheet will query (see ContentProvider.query(Uri, String[], Bundle, CancellationSignal)) this URI to retrieve a set of additional items available for selection. The set of items returned by the content provider is expected to contain all the items from the EXTRA_STREAM argument, in their relative order, which will be marked as selected. The URI's authority must be different from any shared items URI provided in EXTRA_STREAM or returned by the provider.

The Bundle argument of the ContentProvider.query(Uri, String[], Bundle, CancellationSignal) method will contains the original intent Chooser has been launched with under the EXTRA_INTENT key as a context for the current sharing session. The returned android.database.Cursor should contain:

android.service.chooser.AdditionalContentContract.Columns#URI column for the item URI.
Optional columns MediaStore.MediaColumns.WIDTH and MediaStore.MediaColumns.HEIGHT for the dimensions of the preview image. These columns can also be returned for each EXTRA_STREAM item metadata ContentProvider.query(Uri, String[], Bundle, CancellationSignal) call.
Optional AdditionalContentContract.CursorExtraKeys.POSITION extra that specifies the cursor starting position; the item at this position is expected to match the item specified by EXTRA_CHOOSER_FOCUSED_ITEM_POSITION.

When the user makes a selection change, ContentProvider.call(String, String, Bundle) method will be invoked with the "method" argument set to android.service.chooser.AdditionalContentContract.MethodNames#ON_SELECTION_CHANGED, the "arg" argument set to this argument's value, and the "extras" Bundle argument containing EXTRA_INTENT key containing the original intent Chooser has been launched with but with the modified target intent --Chooser will modify the target intent according to the selection changes made by the user. Applications may implement this method to change any of the following Chooser arguments by returning new values in the result bundle: EXTRA_CHOOSER_TARGETS, EXTRA_ALTERNATE_INTENTS, EXTRA_CHOOSER_CUSTOM_ACTIONS, EXTRA_CHOOSER_MODIFY_SHARE_ACTION, EXTRA_METADATA_TEXT, EXTRA_CHOOSER_REFINEMENT_INTENT_SENDER, EXTRA_CHOOSER_RESULT_INTENT_SENDER, EXTRA_EXCLUDE_COMPONENTS.

String

EXTRA_CHOOSER_FOCUSED_ITEM_POSITION

Optional argument to be used with EXTRA_CHOOSER_ADDITIONAL_CONTENT_URI, used in combination with EXTRA_CHOOSER_ADDITIONAL_CONTENT_URI. An integer, zero-based index into EXTRA_STREAM argument indicating the item that should be focused by the Chooser in preview.

String

EXTRA_CHOOSER_MODIFY_SHARE_ACTION

Optional argument to be used with ACTION_CHOOSER. A ChooserAction to allow the user to modify what is being shared in some way. This may be integrated into the content preview on sharesheets that have a preview UI.

String

EXTRA_CHOOSER_REFINEMENT_INTENT_SENDER

An IntentSender for an Activity that will be invoked when the user makes a selection from the chooser activity presented by ACTION_CHOOSER.

An app preparing an action for another app to complete may wish to allow the user to disambiguate between several options for completing the action based on the chosen target or otherwise refine the action before it is invoked.

When sent, this IntentSender may be filled in with the following extras:

EXTRA_INTENT The first intent that matched the user's chosen target
EXTRA_ALTERNATE_INTENTS Any additional intents that also matched the user's chosen target beyond the first
EXTRA_RESULT_RECEIVER A ResultReceiver that the refinement activity should fill in and send once the disambiguation is complete

String

EXTRA_CHOOSER_RESULT

String

EXTRA_CHOOSER_TARGETS

A ChooserTarget[] for ACTION_CHOOSER describing additional high-priority deep-link targets for the chooser to present to the user.

Targets provided in this way will be presented inline with all other targets provided by services from other apps. They will be prioritized before other service targets, but after those targets provided by sources that the user has manually pinned to the front. You can provide up to two targets on this extra (the limit of two targets starts in Android 10).

String

EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT

The ComponentName chosen by the user to complete an action.

String

EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT_INTENT_SENDER

An IntentSender that will be notified if a user successfully chooses a target component to handle an action in an ACTION_CHOOSER activity. The IntentSender will have the extra EXTRA_CHOSEN_COMPONENT appended to it containing the ComponentName of the chosen component.

In some situations this callback may never come, for example if the user abandons the chooser, switches to another task or any number of other reasons. Apps should not be written assuming that this callback will always occur.

String

EXTRA_COMPONENT_NAME

Intent extra: A ComponentName value.

Type: String

String

EXTRA_CONTENT_ANNOTATIONS

An ArrayList of String annotations describing content for ACTION_CHOOSER.

If EXTRA_CONTENT_ANNOTATIONS is present in an intent used to start a ACTION_CHOOSER activity, the first three annotations will be used to rank apps.

Annotations should describe the major components or topics of the content. It is up to apps initiating ACTION_CHOOSER to learn and add annotations. Annotations should be learned in advance, e.g., when creating or saving content, to avoid increasing latency to start ACTION_CHOOSER. Names of customized annotations should not contain the colon character. Performance on customized annotations can suffer, if they are rarely used for ACTION_CHOOSER in the past 14 days. Therefore, it is recommended to use the following annotations when applicable.

Requirements:

Quick viewer shouldn't show a feature if the feature is absent in EXTRA_QUICK_VIEW_FEATURES.

When EXTRA_QUICK_VIEW_FEATURES is not present, quick viewer should follow internal policies.

Presence of an feature in EXTRA_QUICK_VIEW_FEATURES, does not constitute a requirement that the feature be shown. Quick viewer may, according to its own policies, disable or hide features.

String

EXTRA_QUIET_MODE

Optional boolean extra indicating whether quiet mode has been switched on or off. When a profile goes into quiet mode, all apps in the profile are killed and the profile user is stopped. Widgets originating from the profile are masked, and app launcher icons are grayed out.

String

EXTRA_REFERRER

This extra can be used with any Intent used to launch an activity, supplying information about who is launching that activity. This field contains a android.net.Uri object, typically an http: or https: URI of the web site that the referral came from; it can also use the android-app: scheme to identify a native application that it came from.

To retrieve this value in a client, use android.app.Activity#getReferrer instead of directly retrieving the extra. It is also valid for applications to instead supply EXTRA_REFERRER_NAME for cases where they can only create a string, not a Uri; the field here, if supplied, will always take precedence, however.

String

EXTRA_REFERRER_NAME

Alternate version of EXTRA_REFERRER that supplies the URI as a String rather than a android.net.Uri object. Only for use in cases where Uri objects can not be created, in particular when Intent extras are supplied through the intent: or android-app: schemes.

String

EXTRA_REMOTE_INTENT_TOKEN

Used in the extra field in the remote intent. It's a string token passed with the remote intent.

String

EXTRA_REPLACEMENT_EXTRAS

A Bundle forming a mapping of potential target package names to different extras Bundles to add to the default intent extras in EXTRA_INTENT when used with ACTION_CHOOSER. Each key should be a package name. The package need not be currently installed on the device.

An application may choose to provide alternate extras for the case where a user selects an activity from a predetermined set of target packages. If the activity the user selects from the chooser belongs to a package with its package name as a key in this bundle, the corresponding extras for that package will be merged with the extras already present in the intent at EXTRA_INTENT. If a replacement extra has the same key as an extra already present in the intent it will overwrite the extra from the intent.

Examples:

An application may offer different EXTRA_TEXT to an application when sharing with it via ACTION_SEND, augmenting a link with additional query parameters for that target.
An application may offer additional metadata for known targets of a given intent to pass along information only relevant to that target such as account or content identifiers already known to that application.

String

EXTRA_REPLACING

Used as a boolean extra field in android.content.Intent#ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED intents to indicate that this is a replacement of the package, so this broadcast will immediately be followed by an add broadcast for a different version of the same package.

String

EXTRA_RESTRICTIONS_BUNDLE

Extra sent in the intent to the BroadcastReceiver that handles ACTION_GET_RESTRICTION_ENTRIES. The type of the extra is a Bundle containing the restrictions as key/value pairs.

String

EXTRA_RESTRICTIONS_INTENT

Extra used in the response from a BroadcastReceiver that handles ACTION_GET_RESTRICTION_ENTRIES.

String

EXTRA_RESTRICTIONS_LIST

Extra used in the response from a BroadcastReceiver that handles ACTION_GET_RESTRICTION_ENTRIES. The type of the extra is ArrayList<RestrictionEntry>.

String

EXTRA_RESULT_RECEIVER

A ResultReceiver used to return data back to the sender.

Used to complete an app-specific refinement for ACTION_CHOOSER.

If EXTRA_CHOOSER_REFINEMENT_INTENT_SENDER is present in the intent used to start a ACTION_CHOOSER activity this extra will be filled in to that IntentSender and sent when the user selects a target component from the chooser. It is up to the recipient to send a result to this ResultReceiver to signal that disambiguation is complete and that the chooser should invoke the user's choice.

The disambiguator should provide a Bundle to the ResultReceiver with an intent assigned to the key EXTRA_INTENT. This supplied intent will be used by the chooser to match and fill in the final Intent or ChooserTarget before starting it. The supplied intent must match one of the intents from EXTRA_INTENT or EXTRA_ALTERNATE_INTENTS passed to EXTRA_CHOOSER_REFINEMENT_INTENT_SENDER to be accepted.

The result code passed to the ResultReceiver should be android.app.Activity#RESULT_OK if the refinement succeeded and the supplied intent's target in the chooser should be started, or android.app.Activity#RESULT_CANCELED if the chooser should finish without starting a target.

String

EXTRA_RETURN_RESULT

Used as a boolean extra field with ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE or ACTION_UNINSTALL_PACKAGE. Specifies that the installer UI should return to the application the result code of the install/uninstall. The returned result code will be android.app.Activity#RESULT_OK on success or android.app.Activity#RESULT_FIRST_USER on failure.

String

EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON

The name of the extra used to define the icon, as a Bitmap, of a shortcut.

String

EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE

The name of the extra used to define the icon, as a ShortcutIconResource, of a shortcut.

String

EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ID

Intent extra: ID of the shortcut used to send the share intent. Will be sent with ACTION_SEND.

String

EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT

The name of the extra used to define the Intent of a shortcut.

String

EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME

The name of the extra used to define the name of a shortcut.

String

EXTRA_SHUTDOWN_USERSPACE_ONLY

Optional extra for ACTION_SHUTDOWN that allows the sender to qualify that this shutdown is only for the user space of the system, not a complete shutdown. When this is true, hardware devices can use this information to determine that they shouldn't do a complete shutdown of their device since this is not a complete shutdown down to the kernel, but only user space restarting. The default if not supplied is false.

String

EXTRA_SPLIT_NAME

Intent extra: An app split name.

Type: String

String

EXTRA_START_TIME

A long representing the start timestamp (epoch time in millis) of the permission usage when used with ACTION_VIEW_PERMISSION_USAGE_FOR_PERIOD and ACTION_MANAGE_PERMISSION_USAGE

String

EXTRA_STREAM

A content: URI holding a stream of data associated with the Intent, used with ACTION_SEND to supply the data being sent.

String

EXTRA_SUBJECT

A constant string holding the desired subject line of a message.

String

EXTRA_SUSPENDED_PACKAGE_EXTRAS

Intent extra: A Bundle of extras for a package being suspended. Will be sent as an extra with ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_SUSPENDED.

The contents of this Bundle are a contract between the suspended app and the suspending app, i.e. any app with the permission android.permission.SUSPEND_APPS. This is meant to enable the suspended app to better handle the state of being suspended.

String

EXTRA_TEMPLATE

The initial data to place in a newly created record. Use with ACTION_INSERT. The data here is a Map containing the same fields as would be given to the underlying ContentProvider.insert() call.

String

EXTRA_TEXT

A constant CharSequence that is associated with the Intent, used with ACTION_SEND to supply the literal data to be sent. Note that this may be a styled CharSequence, so you must use Bundle.getCharSequence() to retrieve it.

String

EXTRA_TIME

Optional extra specifying a time in milliseconds. The timebase depends on the Intent including this extra. The value must be non-negative.

Type: long

String

EXTRA_TIMEZONE

Extra sent with ACTION_TIMEZONE_CHANGED specifying the new time zone of the device.

Type: String, the same as returned by TimeZone.getID() to identify time zones.

String

EXTRA_TITLE

A CharSequence dialog title to provide to the user when used with a ACTION_CHOOSER.

String

EXTRA_UID

Used as an int extra field in android.content.Intent#ACTION_UID_REMOVED intents to supply the uid the package had been assigned. Also an optional extra in android.content.Intent#ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED or android.content.Intent#ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED for the same purpose.

String

EXTRA_USER

The UserHandle carried with intents.

String

EXTRA_USER_INITIATED

Used as a boolean extra field in android.content.Intent#ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED intents to signal that the application was removed with the user-initiated action.

String

EXTRA_USE_STYLUS_MODE

A boolean extra used with ACTION_CREATE_NOTE indicating whether the launched note-taking activity should show a UI that is suitable to use with stylus input.

Int

FILL_IN_ACTION

Use with fillIn to allow the current action value to be overwritten, even if it is already set.

Int

FILL_IN_CATEGORIES

Use with fillIn to allow the current categories to be overwritten, even if they are already set.

Int

FILL_IN_CLIP_DATA

Use with fillIn to allow the current ClipData to be overwritten, even if it is already set.

Int

FILL_IN_COMPONENT

Use with fillIn to allow the current component value to be overwritten, even if it is already set.

Int

FILL_IN_DATA

Use with fillIn to allow the current data or type value overwritten, even if it is already set.

Int

FILL_IN_IDENTIFIER

Use with fillIn to allow the current identifier value to be overwritten, even if it is already set.

Int

FILL_IN_PACKAGE

Use with fillIn to allow the current package value to be overwritten, even if it is already set.

Int

FILL_IN_SELECTOR

Use with fillIn to allow the current selector to be overwritten, even if it is already set.

Int

FILL_IN_SOURCE_BOUNDS

Use with fillIn to allow the current bounds rectangle to be overwritten, even if it is already set.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT

This flag is not normally set by application code, but set for you by the system as described in the launchMode documentation for the singleTask mode.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK

If set in an Intent passed to android.content.Context#startActivity, this flag will cause any existing task that would be associated with the activity to be cleared before the activity is started. That is, the activity becomes the new root of an otherwise empty task, and any old activities are finished. This can only be used in conjunction with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP

If set, and the activity being launched is already running in the current task, then instead of launching a new instance of that activity, all of the other activities on top of it will be closed and this Intent will be delivered to the (now on top) old activity as a new Intent.

For example, consider a task consisting of the activities: A, B, C, D. If D calls startActivity() with an Intent that resolves to the component of activity B, then C and D will be finished and B receive the given Intent, resulting in the stack now being: A, B.

The currently running instance of activity B in the above example will either receive the new intent you are starting here in its onNewIntent() method, or be itself finished and restarted with the new intent. If it has declared its launch mode to be "multiple" (the default) and you have not set FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP in the same intent, then it will be finished and re-created; for all other launch modes or if FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP is set then this Intent will be delivered to the current instance's onNewIntent().

This launch mode can also be used to good effect in conjunction with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK: if used to start the root activity of a task, it will bring any currently running instance of that task to the foreground, and then clear it to its root state. This is especially useful, for example, when launching an activity from the notification manager.

See Tasks and Back Stack for more information about tasks.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS

If set, the new activity is not kept in the list of recently launched activities.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_FORWARD_RESULT

If set and this intent is being used to launch a new activity from an existing one, then the reply target of the existing activity will be transferred to the new activity. This way, the new activity can call android.app.Activity#setResult and have that result sent back to the reply target of the original activity.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY

This flag is not normally set by application code, but set for you by the system if this activity is being launched from history.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCH_ADJACENT

This flag is only used for split-screen multi-window mode. The new activity will be displayed adjacent to the one launching it if possible. This can only be used in conjunction with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK. Also, setting FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK is required if you want a new instance of an existing activity to be created.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_MATCH_EXTERNAL

If set in an Intent passed to android.content.Context#startActivity, this flag will attempt to launch an instant app if no full app on the device can already handle the intent.

When attempting to resolve instant apps externally, the following Intent properties are supported:

In the case that no instant app can be found, the installer will be launched to notify the user that the intent could not be resolved. On devices that do not support instant apps, the flag will be ignored.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK

This flag is used to create a new task and launch an activity into it. This flag is always paired with either FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT or FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK. In both cases these flags alone would search through existing tasks for ones matching this Intent. Only if no such task is found would a new task be created. When paired with FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK both of these behaviors are modified to skip the search for a matching task and unconditionally start a new task. When used with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK do not use this flag unless you are implementing your own top-level application launcher. Used in conjunction with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK to disable the behavior of bringing an existing task to the foreground. When set, a new task is always started to host the Activity for the Intent, regardless of whether there is already an existing task running the same thing.

Because the default system does not include graphical task management, you should not use this flag unless you provide some way for a user to return back to the tasks you have launched. See FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT for details of this flag's use for creating new document tasks.

This flag is ignored if one of FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT is not also set.

See Tasks and Back Stack for more information about tasks.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT

This flag is used to open a document into a new task rooted at the activity launched by this Intent. Through the use of this flag, or its equivalent attribute, android.R.attr#documentLaunchMode multiple instances of the same activity containing different documents will appear in the recent tasks list.

The use of the activity attribute form of this, android.R.attr#documentLaunchMode, is preferred over the Intent flag described here. The attribute form allows the Activity to specify multiple document behavior for all launchers of the Activity whereas using this flag requires each Intent that launches the Activity to specify it.

Note that the default semantics of this flag w.r.t. whether the recents entry for it is kept after the activity is finished is different than the use of FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK and android.R.attr#documentLaunchMode -- if this flag is being used to create a new recents entry, then by default that entry will be removed once the activity is finished. You can modify this behavior with FLAG_ACTIVITY_RETAIN_IN_RECENTS.

FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT may be used in conjunction with FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK. When used alone it is the equivalent of the Activity manifest specifying android.R.attr#documentLaunchMode="intoExisting". When used with FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK it is the equivalent of the Activity manifest specifying android.R.attr#documentLaunchMode="always". The flag is ignored even in conjunction with FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK when the Activity manifest specifies android.R.attr#documentLaunchMode="never". Refer to android.R.attr#documentLaunchMode for more information.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK

If set, this activity will become the start of a new task on this history stack. A task (from the activity that started it to the next task activity) defines an atomic group of activities that the user can move to. Tasks can be moved to the foreground and background; all of the activities inside of a particular task always remain in the same order. See Tasks and Back Stack for more information about tasks.

This flag is generally used by activities that want to present a "launcher" style behavior: they give the user a list of separate things that can be done, which otherwise run completely independently of the activity launching them.

When using this flag, if a task is already running for the activity you are now starting, then a new activity will not be started; instead, the current task will simply be brought to the front of the screen with the state it was last in. See FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK for a flag to disable this behavior.

This flag can not be used when the caller is requesting a result from the activity being launched.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION

If set in an Intent passed to android.content.Context#startActivity, this flag will prevent the system from applying an activity transition animation to go to the next activity state. This doesn't mean an animation will never run -- if another activity change happens that doesn't specify this flag before the activity started here is displayed, then that transition will be used. This flag can be put to good use when you are going to do a series of activity operations but the animation seen by the user shouldn't be driven by the first activity change but rather a later one.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY

If set, the new activity is not kept in the history stack. As soon as the user navigates away from it, the activity is finished. This may also be set with the noHistory attribute.

If set, android.app.Activity#onActivityResult is never invoked when the current activity starts a new activity which sets a result and finishes.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_USER_ACTION

If set, this flag will prevent the normal android.app.Activity#onUserLeaveHint callback from occurring on the current frontmost activity before it is paused as the newly-started activity is brought to the front.

Typically, an activity can rely on that callback to indicate that an explicit user action has caused their activity to be moved out of the foreground. The callback marks an appropriate point in the activity's lifecycle for it to dismiss any notifications that it intends to display "until the user has seen them," such as a blinking LED.

If an activity is ever started via any non-user-driven events such as phone-call receipt or an alarm handler, this flag should be passed to android.content.Context#startActivity, ensuring that the pausing activity does not think the user has acknowledged its notification.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_PREVIOUS_IS_TOP

If set and this intent is being used to launch a new activity from an existing one, the current activity will not be counted as the top activity for deciding whether the new intent should be delivered to the top instead of starting a new one. The previous activity will be used as the top, with the assumption being that the current activity will finish itself immediately.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT

If set in an Intent passed to android.content.Context#startActivity, this flag will cause the launched activity to be brought to the front of its task's history stack if it is already running.

For example, consider a task consisting of four activities: A, B, C, D. If D calls startActivity() with an Intent that resolves to the component of activity B, then B will be brought to the front of the history stack, with this resulting order: A, C, D, B. This flag will be ignored if FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP is also specified.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_REQUIRE_DEFAULT

If set in an intent passed to android.content.Context#startActivity, this flag will only launch the intent if it resolves to a single result. If no such result exists or if the system chooser would otherwise be displayed, an ActivityNotFoundException will be thrown.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_REQUIRE_NON_BROWSER

If set in an intent passed to android.content.Context#startActivity, this flag will only launch the intent if it resolves to a result that is not a browser. If no such result exists, an ActivityNotFoundException will be thrown.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED

If set, and this activity is either being started in a new task or bringing to the top an existing task, then it will be launched as the front door of the task. This will result in the application of any affinities needed to have that task in the proper state (either moving activities to or from it), or simply resetting that task to its initial state if needed.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_RETAIN_IN_RECENTS

By default a document created by FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_DOCUMENT will have its entry in recent tasks removed when the user closes it (with back or however else it may finish()). If you would like to instead allow the document to be kept in recents so that it can be re-launched, you can use this flag. When set and the task's activity is finished, the recents entry will remain in the interface for the user to re-launch it, like a recents entry for a top-level application.

The receiving activity can override this request with android.R.attr#autoRemoveFromRecents or by explcitly calling Activity.finishAndRemoveTask().

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP

If set, the activity will not be launched if it is already running at the top of the history stack. See Tasks and Back Stack for more information.

Int

FLAG_ACTIVITY_TASK_ON_HOME

If set in an Intent passed to android.content.Context#startActivity, this flag will cause a newly launching task to be placed on top of the current home activity task (if there is one). That is, pressing back from the task will always return the user to home even if that was not the last activity they saw. This can only be used in conjunction with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK.

Int

FLAG_DEBUG_LOG_RESOLUTION

A flag you can enable for debugging: when set, log messages will be printed during the resolution of this intent to show you what has been found to create the final resolved list.

Int

FLAG_DIRECT_BOOT_AUTO

Flag used to automatically match intents based on their Direct Boot awareness and the current user state.

Since the default behavior is to automatically apply the current user state, this is effectively a sentinel value that doesn't change the output of any queries based on its presence or absence.

Instead, this value can be useful in conjunction with android.os.StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder#detectImplicitDirectBoot() to detect when a caller is relying on implicit automatic matching, instead of confirming the explicit behavior they want.

Int

FLAG_EXCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES

If set, this intent will not match any components in packages that are currently stopped. If this is not set, then the default behavior is to include such applications in the result.

Int

FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND

Can be set by the caller to indicate that this Intent is coming from a background operation, not from direct user interaction.

Int

FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION

When combined with FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION and/or FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION, the URI permission grant can be persisted across device reboots until explicitly revoked with Context.revokeUriPermission(Uri, int). This flag only offers the grant for possible persisting; the receiving application must call ContentResolver.takePersistableUriPermission(Uri, int) to actually persist.

Int

FLAG_GRANT_PREFIX_URI_PERMISSION

When combined with FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION and/or FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION, the URI permission grant applies to any URI that is a prefix match against the original granted URI. (Without this flag, the URI must match exactly for access to be granted.) Another URI is considered a prefix match only when scheme, authority, and all path segments defined by the prefix are an exact match.

Int

FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION

If set, the recipient of this Intent will be granted permission to perform read operations on the URI in the Intent's data and any URIs specified in its ClipData. When applying to an Intent's ClipData, all URIs as well as recursive traversals through data or other ClipData in Intent items will be granted; only the grant flags of the top-level Intent are used.

Int

FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION

If set, the recipient of this Intent will be granted permission to perform write operations on the URI in the Intent's data and any URIs specified in its ClipData. When applying to an Intent's ClipData, all URIs as well as recursive traversals through data or other ClipData in Intent items will be granted; only the grant flags of the top-level Intent are used.

Int

FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES

If set, this intent will always match any components in packages that are currently stopped. This is the default behavior when FLAG_EXCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES is not set. If both of these flags are set, this one wins (it allows overriding of exclude for places where the framework may automatically set the exclude flag, such as broadcasts).

Int

FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND

If set, when sending a broadcast the recipient is allowed to run at foreground priority, with a shorter timeout interval. During normal broadcasts the receivers are not automatically hoisted out of the background priority class.

Int

FLAG_RECEIVER_NO_ABORT

If this is an ordered broadcast, don't allow receivers to abort the broadcast. They can still propagate results through to later receivers, but they can not prevent later receivers from seeing the broadcast.

Int

FLAG_RECEIVER_REGISTERED_ONLY

If set, when sending a broadcast only registered receivers will be called -- no BroadcastReceiver components will be launched.

Int

FLAG_RECEIVER_REPLACE_PENDING

If set, when sending a broadcast the new broadcast will replace any existing pending broadcast that matches it. Matching is defined by Intent.filterEquals returning true for the intents of the two broadcasts. When a match is found, the new broadcast (and receivers associated with it) will replace the existing one in the pending broadcast list, remaining at the same position in the list.

This flag is most typically used with sticky broadcasts, which only care about delivering the most recent values of the broadcast to their receivers.

Int

FLAG_RECEIVER_VISIBLE_TO_INSTANT_APPS

If set, the broadcast will be visible to receivers in Instant Apps. By default Instant Apps will not receive broadcasts. This flag has no effect when used by an Instant App.

String

METADATA_DOCK_HOME

Boolean that can be supplied as meta-data with a dock activity, to indicate that the dock should take over the home key when it is active.

Int

URI_ALLOW_UNSAFE

Flag for use with toUri and parseUri: allow parsing of unsafe information. In particular, the flags FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION, FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION, FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION, and FLAG_GRANT_PREFIX_URI_PERMISSION flags can not be set, so that the generated Intent can not cause unexpected data access to happen.

If you do not trust the source of the URI being parsed, you should still do further processing to protect yourself from it. In particular, when using it to start an activity you should usually add in CATEGORY_BROWSABLE to limit the activities that can handle it.

Int

URI_ANDROID_APP_SCHEME

Flag for use with toUri and parseUri: the URI string always has the "android-app:" scheme. This is a variation of URI_INTENT_SCHEME whose format is simpler for the case of an http/https URI being delivered to a specific package name. The format is:

android-app://{package_id}[/{scheme}[/{host}[/{path}]]][#Intent;{...}]

In this scheme, only the package_id is required. If you include a host, you must also include a scheme; including a path also requires both a host and a scheme. The final #Intent; fragment can be used without a scheme, host, or path. Note that this can not be used with intents that have a setSelector, since the base intent will always have an explicit package name.

Some examples of how this scheme maps to Intent objects:

URI Intent

android-app://com.example.app

Action:	`ACTION_MAIN`
Package:	`com.example.app`

android-app://com.example.app/http/example.com

Action:	`ACTION_VIEW`
Data:	`http://example.com/`
Package:	`com.example.app`

android-app://com.example.app/http/example.com/foo?1234

Action:	`ACTION_VIEW`
Data:	`http://example.com/foo?1234`
Package:	`com.example.app`

android-app://com.example.app/
Intent;action=com.example.MY_ACTION;end

Action:	`com.example.MY_ACTION`
Package:	`com.example.app`

android-app://com.example.app/http/example.com/foo?1234
Intent;action=com.example.MY_ACTION;end

Action:	`com.example.MY_ACTION`
Data:	`http://example.com/foo?1234`
Package:	`com.example.app`

android-app://com.example.app/
Intent;action=com.example.MY_ACTION;
i.some_int=100;S.some_str=hello;end

Action:	`com.example.MY_ACTION`
Package:	`com.example.app`
Extras:	`some_int=(int)100 some_str=(String)hello`

Int

URI_INTENT_SCHEME

Flag for use with toUri and parseUri: the URI string always has the "intent:" scheme. This syntax can be used when you want to later disambiguate between URIs that are intended to describe an Intent vs. all others that should be treated as raw URIs. When used with parseUri, any other scheme will result in a generic VIEW action for that raw URI.

From class Parcelable

Int

CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

Descriptor bit used with describeContents(): indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.

Int

PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE

Flag for use with writeToParcel: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "Parcelable someFunction()", "void someFunction(out Parcelable)", or "void someFunction(inout Parcelable)". Some implementations may want to release resources at this point.

Public constructors

Inherited functions

From class Intent

`Intent`	`addCategory(category: String!)` Add a new category to the intent. Categories provide additional detail about the action the intent performs. When resolving an intent, only activities that provide all of the requested categories will be used.
`Intent`	`addFlags(flags: Int)` Add additional flags to the intent (or with existing flags value).
`Any`	`clone()`
`Intent`	`cloneFilter()` Make a clone of only the parts of the Intent that are relevant for filter matching: the action, data, type, component, and categories.
`Intent!`	`createChooser(target: Intent!, title: CharSequence!)` Convenience function for creating a `ACTION_CHOOSER` Intent. Builds a new `ACTION_CHOOSER` Intent that wraps the given target intent, also optionally supplying a title. If the target intent has specified `FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` or `FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION`, then these flags will also be set in the returned chooser intent, with its ClipData set appropriately: either a direct reflection of `getClipData()` if that is non-null, or a new ClipData built from `getData()`.
`Intent!`	`createChooser(target: Intent!, title: CharSequence!, sender: IntentSender!)` Convenience function for creating a `ACTION_CHOOSER` Intent. Builds a new `ACTION_CHOOSER` Intent that wraps the given target intent, also optionally supplying a title. If the target intent has specified `FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` or `FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION`, then these flags will also be set in the returned chooser intent, with its ClipData set appropriately: either a direct reflection of `getClipData()` if that is non-null, or a new ClipData built from `getData()`. The caller may optionally supply an `IntentSender` to receive a callback when the user makes a choice. This can be useful if the calling application wants to remember the last chosen target and surface it as a more prominent or one-touch affordance elsewhere in the UI for next time.
`Int`	`describeContents()`
`Int`	`fillIn(other: Intent, flags: Int)` Copy the contents of other in to this object, but only where fields are not defined by this object. For purposes of a field being defined, the following pieces of data in the Intent are considered to be separate fields: action, as set by `setAction`. data Uri and MIME type, as set by `setData(android.net.Uri)`, `setType(java.lang.String)`, or `setDataAndType(android.net.Uri,java.lang.String)`. identifier, as set by `setIdentifier`. categories, as set by `addCategory`. package, as set by `setPackage`. component, as set by `setComponent(android.content.ComponentName)` or related methods. source bounds, as set by `setSourceBounds`. selector, as set by `setSelector(android.content.Intent)`. clip data, as set by `setClipData(android.content.ClipData)`. each top-level name in the associated extras. In addition, you can use the `FILL_IN_ACTION`, `FILL_IN_DATA`, `FILL_IN_IDENTIFIER`, `FILL_IN_CATEGORIES`, `FILL_IN_PACKAGE`, `FILL_IN_COMPONENT`, `FILL_IN_SOURCE_BOUNDS`, `FILL_IN_SELECTOR`, and `FILL_IN_CLIP_DATA` to override the restriction where the corresponding field will not be replaced if it is already set. Note: The component field will only be copied if `FILL_IN_COMPONENT` is explicitly specified. The selector will only be copied if `FILL_IN_SELECTOR` is explicitly specified. For example, consider Intent A with {data="foo", categories="bar"} and Intent B with {action="gotit", data-type="some/thing", categories="one","two"}. Calling A.fillIn(B, Intent.FILL_IN_DATA) will result in A now containing: {action="gotit", data-type="some/thing", categories="bar"}.
`Boolean`	`filterEquals(other: Intent!)` Determine if two intents are the same for the purposes of intent resolution (filtering). That is, if their action, data, type, identity, class, and categories are the same. This does not compare any extra data included in the intents. Note that technically when actually matching against an `IntentFilter` the identifier is ignored, while here it is directly compared for equality like the other fields.
`Int`	`filterHashCode()` Generate hash code that matches semantics of filterEquals().
`String?`	`getAction()` Retrieve the general action to be performed, such as `ACTION_VIEW`. The action describes the general way the rest of the information in the intent should be interpreted -- most importantly, what to do with the data returned by `getData`.
`BooleanArray?`	`getBooleanArrayExtra(name: String!)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.
`Boolean`	`getBooleanExtra(name: String!, defaultValue: Boolean)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.
`Bundle?`	`getBundleExtra(name: String!)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.
`ByteArray?`	`getByteArrayExtra(name: String!)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.
`Byte`	`getByteExtra(name: String!, defaultValue: Byte)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.
`MutableSet<String!>!`	`getCategories()` Return the set of all categories in the intent. If there are no categories, returns NULL.
`CharArray?`	`getCharArrayExtra(name: String!)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.

`ComponentName?`	`getComponent()` Retrieve the concrete component associated with the intent. When receiving an intent, this is the component that was found to best handle it (that is, yourself) and will always be non-null; in all other cases it will be null unless explicitly set.
`Uri?`	`getData()` Retrieve data this intent is operating on. This URI specifies the name of the data; often it uses the content: scheme, specifying data in a content provider. Other schemes may be handled by specific activities, such as http: by the web browser.
`String?`	`getDataString()` The same as `getData()`, but returns the URI as an encoded String.

`T?`	`getParcelableExtra(name: String?, clazz: Class<T>)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.
`String?`	`getScheme()` Return the scheme portion of the intent's data. If the data is null or does not include a scheme, null is returned. Otherwise, the scheme prefix without the final ':' is returned, i.e. "http". This is the same as calling getData().getScheme() (and checking for null data).
`Intent?`	`getSelector()` Return the specific selector associated with this Intent. If there is none, returns null. See `setSelector` for more information.
`Serializable?`	`getSerializableExtra(name: String!)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.

`Short`	`getShortExtra(name: String!, defaultValue: Short)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.
`Rect?`	`getSourceBounds()` Get the bounds of the sender of this intent, in screen coordinates. This can be used as a hint to the receiver for animations and the like. Null means that there is no source bounds.
`Array<String!>?`	`getStringArrayExtra(name: String!)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.
`ArrayList<String!>?`	`getStringArrayListExtra(name: String!)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.
`String?`	`getStringExtra(name: String!)` Retrieve extended data from the intent.
`String?`	`getType()` Retrieve any explicit MIME type included in the intent. This is usually null, as the type is determined by the intent data.
`Boolean`	`hasCategory(category: String!)` Check if a category exists in the intent.
`Boolean`	`hasExtra(name: String!)` Returns true if an extra value is associated with the given name.
`Boolean`	`hasFileDescriptors()` Returns true if the Intent's extras contain a parcelled file descriptor.
`Boolean`	`isMismatchingFilter()` Whether the intent mismatches all intent filters declared in the receiving component. When a component receives an intent, normally obtainable through the following methods: `BroadcastReceiver.onReceive(Context, Intent)` `Activity.getIntent()` android.app.Activity#onNewIntent `android.app.Service#onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)` `android.app.Service#onBind(Intent)` The developer can call this method to check if this intent does not match any of its declared intent filters. A non-matching intent can be delivered when the intent sender explicitly set the component through `setComponent` or #setClassName. This method always returns `false` if the intent originated from within the same application or the system, because these cases are always exempted from security checks.
`Intent!`	`makeMainActivity(mainActivity: ComponentName!)` Create an intent to launch the main (root) activity of a task. This is the Intent that is started when the application's is launched from Home. For anything else that wants to launch an application in the same way, it is important that they use an Intent structured the same way, and can use this function to ensure this is the case. The returned Intent has the given Activity component as its explicit component, `ACTION_MAIN` as its action, and includes the category `CATEGORY_LAUNCHER`. This does not have `FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK` set, though typically you will want to do that through `addFlags(int)` on the returned Intent.
`Intent!`	`makeMainSelectorActivity(selectorAction: String!, selectorCategory: String!)` Make an Intent for the main activity of an application, without specifying a specific activity to run but giving a selector to find the activity. This results in a final Intent that is structured the same as when the application is launched from Home. For anything else that wants to launch an application in the same way, it is important that they use an Intent structured the same way, and can use this function to ensure this is the case. The returned Intent has `ACTION_MAIN` as its action, and includes the category `CATEGORY_LAUNCHER`. This does not have `FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK` set, though typically you will want to do that through `addFlags(int)` on the returned Intent.
`Intent!`	`makeRestartActivityTask(mainActivity: ComponentName!)` Make an Intent that can be used to re-launch an application's task in its base state. This is like `makeMainActivity(android.content.ComponentName)`, but also sets the flags `FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK` and `FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK`.
`String?`	`normalizeMimeType(type: String?)` Normalize a MIME data type. A normalized MIME type has white-space trimmed, content-type parameters removed, and is lower-case. This aligns the type with Android best practices for intent filtering. For example, "text/plain; charset=utf-8" becomes "text/plain". "text/x-vCard" becomes "text/x-vcard". All MIME types received from outside Android (such as user input, or external sources like Bluetooth, NFC, or the Internet) should be normalized before they are used to create an Intent.
`Intent`	`parseIntent(resources: Resources, parser: XmlPullParser, attrs: AttributeSet!)` Parses the "intent" element (and its children) from XML and instantiates an Intent object. The given XML parser should be located at the tag where parsing should start (often named "intent"), from which the basic action, data, type, and package and class name will be retrieved. The function will then parse in to any child elements, looking for tags to add categories and to attach extra data to the intent.
`Intent!`	`parseUri(uri: String!, flags: Int)` Create an intent from a URI. This URI may encode the action, category, and other intent fields, if it was returned by `toUri`. If the Intent was not generate by toUri(), its data will be the entire URI and its action will be ACTION_VIEW. The URI given here must not be relative -- that is, it must include the scheme and full path.
`Intent`	`putCharSequenceArrayListExtra(name: String!, value: ArrayList<CharSequence!>?)` Add extended data to the intent. The name must include a package prefix, for example the app com.android.contacts would use names like "com.android.contacts.ShowAll".
`Intent`	`putExtra(name: String!, value: Bundle?)` Add extended data to the intent. The name must include a package prefix, for example the app com.android.contacts would use names like "com.android.contacts.ShowAll".

`Intent`	`putExtra(name: String!, value: ShortArray?)` Add extended data to the intent. The name must include a package prefix, for example the app com.android.contacts would use names like "com.android.contacts.ShowAll".
`Intent`	`putExtras(src: Intent)` Copy all extras in 'src' in to this intent.
`Intent`	`putExtras(extras: Bundle)` Add a set of extended data to the intent. The keys must include a package prefix, for example the app com.android.contacts would use names like "com.android.contacts.ShowAll".
`Intent`	`putIntegerArrayListExtra(name: String!, value: ArrayList<Int!>?)` Add extended data to the intent. The name must include a package prefix, for example the app com.android.contacts would use names like "com.android.contacts.ShowAll".
`Intent`	`putParcelableArrayListExtra(name: String!, value: ArrayList<out Parcelable!>?)` Add extended data to the intent. The name must include a package prefix, for example the app com.android.contacts would use names like "com.android.contacts.ShowAll".
`Intent`	`putStringArrayListExtra(name: String!, value: ArrayList<String!>?)` Add extended data to the intent. The name must include a package prefix, for example the app com.android.contacts would use names like "com.android.contacts.ShowAll".
`Unit`	`removeCategory(category: String!)` Remove a category from an intent.
`Unit`	`removeExtra(name: String!)` Remove extended data from the intent.
`Unit`	`removeFlags(flags: Int)` Remove these flags from the intent.
`Unit`	`removeLaunchSecurityProtection()` When an intent comes from another app or component as an embedded extra intent, the system creates a token to identify the creator of this foreign intent. If this token is missing or invalid, the system will block the launch of this intent. If it contains a valid token, the system will perform verification against the creator to block launching target it has no permission to launch or block it from granting URI access to the tagert it cannot access. This method provides a way to opt out this feature.
`Intent`	`replaceExtras(src: Intent)` Completely replace the extras in the Intent with the extras in the given Intent.
`Intent`	`replaceExtras(extras: Bundle?)` Completely replace the extras in the Intent with the given Bundle of extras.
`ComponentName!`	`resolveActivity(pm: PackageManager)` Return the Activity component that should be used to handle this intent. The appropriate component is determined based on the information in the intent, evaluated as follows: If `getComponent` returns an explicit class, that is returned without any further consideration. The activity must handle the `Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT` Intent category to be considered. If `getAction` is non-NULL, the activity must handle this action. If #resolveType returns non-NULL, the activity must handle this type. If `addCategory` has added any categories, the activity must handle ALL of the categories specified. If `getPackage` is non-NULL, only activity components in that application package will be considered. If there are no activities that satisfy all of these conditions, a null string is returned. If multiple activities are found to satisfy the intent, the one with the highest priority will be used. If there are multiple activities with the same priority, the system will either pick the best activity based on user preference, or resolve to a system class that will allow the user to pick an activity and forward from there. This method is implemented simply by calling android.content.pm.PackageManager#resolveActivity with the "defaultOnly" parameter true. This API is called for you as part of starting an activity from an intent. You do not normally need to call it yourself.
`ActivityInfo!`	`resolveActivityInfo(pm: PackageManager, flags: Int)` Resolve the Intent into an `ActivityInfo` describing the activity that should execute the intent. Resolution follows the same rules as described for `resolveActivity`, but you get back the completely information about the resolved activity instead of just its class name.
`String?`	`resolveType(resolver: ContentResolver)` Return the MIME data type of this intent. If the type field is explicitly set, that is simply returned. Otherwise, if the data is set, the type of that data is returned. If neither fields are set, a null is returned.
`String?`	`resolveType(context: Context)` Return the MIME data type of this intent. If the type field is explicitly set, that is simply returned. Otherwise, if the data is set, the type of that data is returned. If neither fields are set, a null is returned.
`String?`	`resolveTypeIfNeeded(resolver: ContentResolver)` Return the MIME data type of this intent, only if it will be needed for intent resolution. This is not generally useful for application code; it is used by the frameworks for communicating with back-end system services.
`Intent`	`setAction(action: String?)` Set the general action to be performed.
`Intent`	`setClass(packageContext: Context, cls: Class<*>)` Convenience for calling `setComponent(android.content.ComponentName)` with the name returned by a `Class` object.
`Intent`	`setClassName(packageContext: Context, className: String)` Convenience for calling `setComponent` with an explicit class name.
`Intent`	`setClassName(packageName: String, className: String)` Convenience for calling `setComponent` with an explicit application package name and class name.
`Unit`	`setClipData(clip: ClipData?)` Set a `ClipData` associated with this Intent. This replaces any previously set ClipData. The ClipData in an intent is not used for Intent matching or other such operations. Semantically it is like extras, used to transmit additional data with the Intent. The main feature of using this over the extras for data is that `FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` and `FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION` will operate on any URI items included in the clip data. This is useful, in particular, if you want to transmit an Intent containing multiple `content:` URIs for which the recipient may not have global permission to access the content provider. If the ClipData contains items that are themselves Intents, any grant flags in those Intents will be ignored. Only the top-level flags of the main Intent are respected, and will be applied to all Uri or Intent items in the clip (or sub-items of the clip). The MIME type, label, and icon in the ClipData object are not directly used by Intent. Applications should generally rely on the MIME type of the Intent itself, not what it may find in the ClipData. A common practice is to construct a ClipData for use with an Intent with a MIME type of "/".
`Intent`	`setComponent(component: ComponentName?)` (Usually optional) Explicitly set the component to handle the intent. If left with the default value of null, the system will determine the appropriate class to use based on the other fields (action, data, type, categories) in the Intent. If this class is defined, the specified class will always be used regardless of the other fields. You should only set this value when you know you absolutely want a specific class to be used; otherwise it is better to let the system find the appropriate class so that you will respect the installed applications and user preferences.
`Intent`	`setData(data: Uri?)` Set the data this intent is operating on. This method automatically clears any type that was previously set by `setType` or `setTypeAndNormalize`. Note: scheme matching in the Android framework is case-sensitive, unlike the formal RFC. As a result, you should always write your Uri with a lower case scheme, or use `Uri.normalizeScheme` or `setDataAndNormalize` to ensure that the scheme is converted to lower case.
`Intent`	`setDataAndNormalize(data: Uri)` Normalize and set the data this intent is operating on. This method automatically clears any type that was previously set (for example, by `setType`). The data Uri is normalized using `android.net.Uri#normalizeScheme` before it is set, so really this is just a convenience method for setData(data.normalize())
`Intent`	`setDataAndType(data: Uri?, type: String?)` (Usually optional) Set the data for the intent along with an explicit MIME data type. This method should very rarely be used -- it allows you to override the MIME type that would ordinarily be inferred from the data with your own type given here. Note: MIME type and Uri scheme matching in the Android framework is case-sensitive, unlike the formal RFC definitions. As a result, you should always write these elements with lower case letters, or use `normalizeMimeType` or `android.net.Uri#normalizeScheme` or `setDataAndTypeAndNormalize` to ensure that they are converted to lower case.
`Intent`	`setDataAndTypeAndNormalize(data: Uri, type: String?)` (Usually optional) Normalize and set both the data Uri and an explicit MIME data type. This method should very rarely be used -- it allows you to override the MIME type that would ordinarily be inferred from the data with your own type given here. The data Uri and the MIME type are normalize using `android.net.Uri#normalizeScheme` and `normalizeMimeType` before they are set, so really this is just a convenience method for setDataAndType(data.normalize(), Intent.normalizeMimeType(type))
`Unit`	`setExtrasClassLoader(loader: ClassLoader?)` Sets the ClassLoader that will be used when unmarshalling any Parcelable values from the extras of this Intent.
`Intent`	`setFlags(flags: Int)` Set special flags controlling how this intent is handled. Most values here depend on the type of component being executed by the Intent, specifically the FLAG_ACTIVITY_* flags are all for use with android.content.Context#startActivity and the FLAG_RECEIVER_* flags are all for use with `Context.sendBroadcast()`. See the Tasks and Back Stack documentation for important information on how some of these options impact the behavior of your application.
`Intent`	`setIdentifier(identifier: String?)` Set an identifier for this Intent. If set, this provides a unique identity for this Intent, allowing it to be unique from other Intents that would otherwise look the same. In particular, this will be used by `filterEquals(android.content.Intent)` to determine if two Intents are the same as with other fields like `setAction`. However, unlike those fields, the identifier is never used for matching against an `IntentFilter`; it is as if the identifier has not been set on the Intent. This can be used, for example, to make this Intent unique from other Intents that are otherwise the same, for use in creating a `android.app.PendingIntent`. (Be aware however that the receiver of the PendingIntent will see whatever you put in here.) The structure of this string is completely undefined by the platform, however if you are going to be exposing identifier strings across different applications you may need to define your own structure if there is no central party defining the contents of this field.
`Intent`	`setPackage(packageName: String?)` (Usually optional) Set an explicit application package name that limits the components this Intent will resolve to. If left to the default value of null, all components in all applications will considered. If non-null, the Intent can only match the components in the given application package.
`Unit`	`setSelector(selector: Intent?)` Set a selector for this Intent. This is a modification to the kinds of things the Intent will match. If the selector is set, it will be used when trying to find entities that can handle the Intent, instead of the main contents of the Intent. This allows you build an Intent containing a generic protocol while targeting it more specifically. An example of where this may be used is with things like `CATEGORY_APP_BROWSER`. This category allows you to build an Intent that will launch the Browser application. However, the correct main entry point of an application is actually `ACTION_MAIN` `CATEGORY_LAUNCHER` with `setComponent(android.content.ComponentName)` used to specify the actual Activity to launch. If you launch the browser with something different, undesired behavior may happen if the user has previously or later launches it the normal way, since they do not match. Instead, you can build an Intent with the MAIN action (but no ComponentName yet specified) and set a selector with `ACTION_MAIN` and `CATEGORY_APP_BROWSER` to point it specifically to the browser activity. Setting a selector does not impact the behavior of `filterEquals(android.content.Intent)` and `filterHashCode()`. This is part of the desired behavior of a selector -- it does not impact the base meaning of the Intent, just what kinds of things will be matched against it when determining who can handle it. You can not use both a selector and `setPackage(java.lang.String)` on the same base Intent.
`Unit`	`setSourceBounds(r: Rect?)` Set the bounds of the sender of this intent, in screen coordinates. This can be used as a hint to the receiver for animations and the like. Null means that there is no source bounds.
`Intent`	`setType(type: String?)` Set an explicit MIME data type. This is used to create intents that only specify a type and not data, for example to indicate the type of data to return. This method automatically clears any data that was previously set (for example by `setData`). Note: MIME type matching in the Android framework is case-sensitive, unlike formal RFC MIME types. As a result, you should always write your MIME types with lower case letters, or use `normalizeMimeType` or `setTypeAndNormalize` to ensure that it is converted to lower case.
`Intent`	`setTypeAndNormalize(type: String?)` Normalize and set an explicit MIME data type. This is used to create intents that only specify a type and not data, for example to indicate the type of data to return. This method automatically clears any data that was previously set (for example by `setData`). The MIME type is normalized using `normalizeMimeType` before it is set, so really this is just a convenience method for setType(Intent.normalizeMimeType(type))
`String`	`toString()`
`String!`	`toURI()` Call `toUri` with 0 flags.
`String!`	`toUri(flags: Int)` Convert this Intent into a String holding a URI representation of it. The returned URI string has been properly URI encoded, so it can be used with `Uri.parse(String)`. The URI contains the Intent's data as the base URI, with an additional fragment describing the action, categories, type, flags, package, component, and extras. You can convert the returned string back to an Intent with `getIntent`.
