Intent(Intent)

Copy constructor.

[Android.Runtime.Register(".ctor", "(Landroid/content/Intent;)V", "")]
public Intent (Android.Content.Intent? o);

[<Android.Runtime.Register(".ctor", "(Landroid/content/Intent;)V", "")>]
new Android.Content.Intent : Android.Content.Intent -> Android.Content.Intent

Parameters

Intent(String)

Create an intent with a given action.

[Android.Runtime.Register(".ctor", "(Ljava/lang/String;)V", "")]
public Intent (string? action);

[<Android.Runtime.Register(".ctor", "(Ljava/lang/String;)V", "")>]
new Android.Content.Intent : string -> Android.Content.Intent

Parameters

action

String

The Intent action, such as ACTION_VIEW.

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Create an intent with a given action. All other fields (data, type, class) are null. Note that the action <em>must</em> be in a namespace because Intents are used globally in the system -- for example the system VIEW action is android.intent.action.VIEW; an application's custom action would be something like com.google.app.myapp.CUSTOM_ACTION.

Intent(Context, Class)

Create an intent for a specific component.

[Android.Runtime.Register(".ctor", "(Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/Class;)V", "")]
public Intent (Android.Content.Context? packageContext, Java.Lang.Class? cls);

[<Android.Runtime.Register(".ctor", "(Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/Class;)V", "")>]
new Android.Content.Intent : Android.Content.Context * Java.Lang.Class -> Android.Content.Intent

Parameters

packageContext

Context

A Context of the application package implementing this class.

cls

Class

The component class that is to be used for the intent.

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Create an intent for a specific component. All other fields (action, data, type, class) are null, though they can be modified later with explicit calls. This provides a convenient way to create an intent that is intended to execute a hard-coded class name, rather than relying on the system to find an appropriate class for you; see #setComponent for more information on the repercussions of this.

protected Intent (IntPtr javaReference, Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership transfer);

new Android.Content.Intent : nativeint * Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership -> Android.Content.Intent

Parameters

Intent(String, Uri)

Create an intent with a given action and for a given data url.

[Android.Runtime.Register(".ctor", "(Ljava/lang/String;Landroid/net/Uri;)V", "")]
public Intent (string? action, Android.Net.Uri? uri);

[<Android.Runtime.Register(".ctor", "(Ljava/lang/String;Landroid/net/Uri;)V", "")>]
new Android.Content.Intent : string * Android.Net.Uri -> Android.Content.Intent

Parameters

action

String

The Intent action, such as ACTION_VIEW.

uri

Uri

The Intent data URI.

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Create an intent with a given action and for a given data url. Note that the action <em>must</em> be in a namespace because Intents are used globally in the system -- for example the system VIEW action is android.intent.action.VIEW; an application's custom action would be something like com.google.app.myapp.CUSTOM_ACTION.

<em>Note: scheme and host name matching in the Android framework is case-sensitive, unlike the formal RFC. As a result, you should always ensure that you write your Uri with these elements using lower case letters, and normalize any Uris you receive from outside of Android to ensure the scheme and host is lower case.</em>

Intent(String, Uri, Context, Class)

Create an intent for a specific component with a specified action and data.

[Android.Runtime.Register(".ctor", "(Ljava/lang/String;Landroid/net/Uri;Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/Class;)V", "")]
public Intent (string? action, Android.Net.Uri? uri, Android.Content.Context? packageContext, Java.Lang.Class? cls);

[<Android.Runtime.Register(".ctor", "(Ljava/lang/String;Landroid/net/Uri;Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/Class;)V", "")>]
new Android.Content.Intent : string * Android.Net.Uri * Android.Content.Context * Java.Lang.Class -> Android.Content.Intent

Parameters

action

String

The Intent action, such as ACTION_VIEW.

uri

Uri

The Intent data URI.

packageContext

Context

A Context of the application package implementing this class.

cls

Class

The component class that is to be used for the intent.

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Create an intent for a specific component with a specified action and data. This is equivalent to using #Intent(String, android.net.Uri) to construct the Intent and then calling #setClass to set its class.
