Intent resolution in Android
- by Saksham
Hello community,
If I want to create custom address book (which overrides my phone's default address book), and if I want it to be used by all applications, what should be my intent filter? Does Android allow me to do such a thing considering the fact that such a third-party app could potentially be malicious?!
And, if I want to have yet another address book application, I suppose the second app also has same intent-filter, isn't it? How does the framework decide which app to pick if I click on Contacts button when making a call? In other words, how does the framework resolve intents in case there is a conflict between multiple intent-filters?
I'm new to android, so please excuse me if this question is stupid. I would like to get some feedback in any case!
Thanks in advance,
Saksham
