The ComponentName (which is the package name + complete class name) is the unique, secure way to identify a particular piece of code in an app. You should just consider this stuff you publish in your manifest for others to be use to be public entries into your app that you are committing to. It's basically like the main entry point of an app but allowing you a little more flexibility in specifying it and the ability to have multiple such entry points. And if you really need to refactor your code for some reason, implementing a subclass to continue to have such entry points under the proper name is basically trivial, a bunch of each stuff in the platform to give you another mechanism to avoid this can't make things a whole lot easier. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
