"NeXT had services, in which applications could publish menu items that became available in other applications where the two were using the same data." -- am I mistaken, or doesn't Android have a similar concept in "intents," which allow different apps to send data to each other?
- brbsix 11y agoYeah that sounds like Android intents (http://developer.android.com/training/sharing/send.html http://developer.android.com/training/sharing/send.html) and content:// style URIs. There's all sorts of really cool IPC (inter-process communication) mechanisms among various OS's such as Unix domain sockets, D-Bus, ØMQ.
