Within the Project tool window, locate the app -> res -> layout -> activity_implicit_intent.xml file and double click on it to load it into the Designer tool. The user interface for the ImplicitIntentActivity class is very simple, consisting solely of a RelativeLayout view and a button. This will be installed onto the device or emulator and used to demonstrate what happens when two activities match the criteria for an implicit intent. Having successfully launched the built-in browser, a new project will be created that also contains an activity capable of displaying web pages. This is most likely to be an activity from the Chrome web browser bundled with the Android operating system. Since the example application itself will not contain an activity capable of performing this task, an implicit intent will be issued so that the Android intent resolution algorithm can be engaged to identify and launch a suitable activity from another application.
The goal will be to create and send an intent requesting that the content of a particular web page be loaded and displayed to the user. In this chapter, an example application will be created in Android Studio designed to demonstrate a practical implementation of implicit intents.
