An
<intent-filter>
element must contain one or more <action>

android:name

Intent
class as
ACTION_string
constants. To assign one of these actions to
this attribute, prepend android.intent.action.
to the
string
that follows ACTION_
.
For example, for ACTION_MAIN
, use android.intent.action.MAIN
,
and for ACTION_WEB_SEARCH
, use android.intent.action.WEB_SEARCH
.
For actions you define, it's best to use your app's package name as a prefix to
help ensure uniqueness. For example, a TRANSMOGRIFY
action might be specified
as follows:
<action android:name="com.example.project.TRANSMOGRIFY" />
