The implicit intent is to indicate that the primary key name needs to be displayed, but by specifying action, data, category, the Android system finds and activates the most suitable components based on these three features. First look at the custom example [html] <application android: icon = "@ drawable/icon" android: label = "@ string/app_name"> <activity android: name = ". mainActivity "android: label =" @ string/app_name "> <intent-filter> <action android: name =" android. intent. action.
