IntentCompat

CATEGORY_LEANBACK_LAUNCHER

static val CATEGORY_LEANBACK_LAUNCHER: String

Indicates an activity optimized for Leanback mode, and that should be displayed in the Leanback launcher.

Value: "android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER"

EXTRA_HTML_TEXT

static val EXTRA_HTML_TEXT: String

A constant String that is associated with the Intent, used with android.content.Intent#ACTION_SEND to supply an alternative to android.content.Intent#EXTRA_TEXT as HTML formatted text. Note that you must also supply android.content.Intent#EXTRA_TEXT.

Value: "android.intent.extra.HTML_TEXT"

EXTRA_START_PLAYBACK

static val EXTRA_START_PLAYBACK: String

Used as a boolean extra field in android.content.Intent#ACTION_VIEW intents to indicate that content should immediately be played without any intermediate screens that require additional user input, e.g. a profile selection screen or a details page.

Value: "android.intent.extra.START_PLAYBACK"

makeMainSelectorActivity

@NonNull static fun makeMainSelectorActivity(@NonNull selectorAction: String, @NonNull selectorCategory: String): Intent

Make an Intent for the main activity of an application, without specifying a specific activity to run but giving a selector to find the activity. This results in a final Intent that is structured the same as when the application is launched from Home. For anything else that wants to launch an application in the same way, it is important that they use an Intent structured the same way, and can use this function to ensure this is the case.

The returned Intent has Intent#ACTION_MAIN as its action, and includes the category Intent#CATEGORY_LAUNCHER. This does not have Intent#FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK set, though typically you will want to do that through Intent#addFlags(int) on the returned Intent.
