a slight clarification to my question: I will use the component to provide the class name..but from the documentation the component is determined by looking at the other information in the intent (the action, data/type, and categories etc) and matching that with a component that can handle it.
So, if i need to start a service CallControlService, what would my intent look like ? On Jun 4, 1:02 pm, aayush <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I had some conceptual doubts about Intents.
