# Intent Activity Demo
This project is a simple Android application that demonstrates the use of explicit and implicit intents to navigate between different activities and send data across them. The application includes four main activities:
- **MainActivity**: The starting point, which initiates the navigation and data sending to other activities.
- **BActivity**: Receives and sends data back to `MainActivity` or forwards it to `CActivity`.
- **CActivity**: Receives data from `BActivity`.
- **MyImplicitIntent**: Demonstrates implicit intents, such as opening a browser or sending an SMS.

## Getting Started
To get a local copy of this project up and running, follow these simple steps:
### Prerequisites
- **Android Studio**: Download and install [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio).
- **Android Device or Emulator**: The application can be run on a physical Android device or an emulator.
### Installation
1. **Clone the Repository**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/IRedDragonICY/cb24153-lab-intent-activity.git
```
2. **Open in Android Studio**:
Open Android Studio, navigate to `File -> Open`, and select the cloned project.
3. **Build and Run**:
After the project loads, click on the `Run` button or use `Shift + F10` to build and deploy the app on an emulator or connected device.
---
## Structure
The project is structured as follows:
- **MainActivity.kt**: The main activity that sends data to `BActivity`, `CActivity`, and triggers the implicit intent to open `MyImplicitIntent`.
- **BActivity.java**: An activity that receives data from `MainActivity`, displays it, and allows sending data back to `MainActivity` or forwarding it to `CActivity`.
- **CActivity.java**: Receives data from `BActivity` and displays it.
- **MyImplicitIntent.java**: Demonstrates implicit intents, allowing the user to open a URL in a browser or send an SMS.
- **XML Layout Files**:
- `mainactivity.xml`: Layout for `MainActivity`【15†source】.
- `bactivity.xml`: Layout for `BActivity`【13†source】.
- `cactivity.xml`: Layout for `CActivity`【14†source】.
- `myimplicitintentactivity.xml`: Layout for `MyImplicitIntent`【16†source】.
---
## Usage
1. **Main Activity**:
- Input data in the "Set Info." field.
- Choose one of the options:
- **Send To B**: Sends data to `BActivity`.
- **Send To C**: Sends data directly to `CActivity`.
- **Imp. Act.**: Opens `MyImplicitIntent` for implicit intents.
2. **B Activity**:
- Displays the received data from `MainActivity`.
- Allows sending data back to `MainActivity` with **Reply Main** or forwarding it to `CActivity` with **Send To C**.
3. **C Activity**:
- Displays data received from either `MainActivity` or `BActivity`.
4. **My Implicit Intent**:
- Provides options to perform implicit actions, such as opening a browser or sending an SMS.

## How Intents Work
Intents are used to navigate between different activities and pass data in Android. This application demonstrates both **Explicit Intents** (for navigating to a specified activity) and **Implicit Intents** (for actions like opening a URL in a browser).
### Intent Workflow
# Intent Application
1. **Explicit Intents**:
- **MainActivity** to **BActivity** and **CActivity**:
- Data is sent using `Intent.putExtra("key", value)` and received using `getIntent().getStringExtra("key")`.
- **BActivity** back to **MainActivity**:
- Data is sent back using `setResult()` and received in `MainActivity` through `onActivityResult()`.
2. **Implicit Intents**:
- **MyImplicitIntent** activity allows for implicit actions like browsing a website or sending an SMS.

## Additional Notes
- This application serves as a demonstration for Android Intents.
- Make sure to handle permissions, especially for actions like sending SMS, in a real-world application.
- The layouts and activities can be customized as per your project's requirements.
