Intents are used by Android for communication between applications and services.
Intents can be used to go from one activity to the next.
Intents can broadcast a request for other activities or services to pick up and action.
Activities and services can declare they are able to handle incoming intents of a certain action.
Example Code
Checkout the
Intents
folder.
