we discuss the Intents in Android.

Intent :

An Intent is a messaging object you can use to request an action from
another app component.An intent is an abstract description of an 
operation to be performed.An Intent provides a provision for execute
late runtime binding between the code in disparate applications. Its
most important utilize is in the launching of actions, where it can be 
concept of as the adhesive between activities.

 It is fundamentally a pliant data structure holding an abstract 
description of an action to be performed.  It is used with start
 activity to initiate a purpose,broadcast Intent  direct  it with some 
other attentive Broadcastreceiver components, and 
startService(Intent) or bindService(Intent, ServiceConnection, int) 
to communicate with a background Service.

At the simplest level intent is an action that you can tell Android to invoke .It
Although intents facilitate communication between components in several
ways

There are three fundamental use cases:

• Starting an activity
• Starting a service
• Delivering a broadcast

Types of Intents :

Now we discuss the types of Intent with the  
Android Training in Chandigarh . Intent  has two types and They are :

• Explicit Intent

• Implicit Intent

Explicit Intent : 

Explicit Intents have identify a element which provides the exact 

class to be run. Regularly these will not involve any other detail, 

clearly being a process for an application to launch various internal

 activities it has as the user interacts with the application.

Implicit Intent : 

Implicit Intents have not identify a element rather, they must 
involve sufficient information for the system to determine which of the
 available components is best to run for that intent.

Uses of Intents :

• You can use intents to implore different applications from your

  application

• You can use intents to implore internal or  external components 

from your application

• You can use intents to elevate function so that different can 

acknowledge in a process alike to a produce-and subscribe model

• Intents are used as report-passing  structure that works both within

 your your application,and between applications.

• Interacts with every component in Android.
• Announce your intention that an activity or service be begin to 

execute an action,generally with a piece of data.

• Broadcast that an event has occurred.
• Explicit start a particular activity or service.
