Android Implicit Intent Example

Consider the given code files for the implicit intent implementation. XML code will be used for the design and implicit intent coding is written in a Java code file.

Code Files

Here are the code files of this Android example to implement implicit intent.

XML file: (activity_main.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.faraz.implicit_intent.MainActivity">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="44dp"
        android:ems="10" />

    <Button
        android:text="Go To Button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="70dp"
        android:id="@+id/button1" />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Java file: (MainActivity.java)

package com.example.faraz.implicit_intent;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import java.net.URL;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  Button button;
  EditText editText;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);

    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
        String url = editText.getText().toString();
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
        startActivity(i);
      }
    });
  }
}

Note

If you are going to copy paste this code then, don’t copy package (first line of java code), it will create itself in your android studio when you create your project. It is different for different computer systems. You will have to copy from second line of java code up to last line. If you copy package it will display error.
