Re: [android-developers] Public Intents for Everybody

Not to mention that: 1) Not every brioadcast intent is exposed in a manifest-declared intent receiver 2) Not every intent is supposed to be public 3) There may be preconditions on the logic implementing an intent (e.g. composing an email message is only meaningful if there are configured accounts)

Re: [android-developers] Public Intents for Everybody

As other people have said, the problem with this idea -- which isn't a bad one -- is that the app doesn't contain enough information to help you determine what the intent *does*. It is possible enough to find out the intent extras, you could also easily imagine providing such information staticall

Re: [android-developers] Public Intents for Everybody
