Intents is probably one of my single favorite under the hood features of Android as a user. Installing an app and having it instantly be able to exchange data with any other app on the system in a smart way makes the process so simple you don't really even have to think about it. It's one of the parts of Android I'd have a hard time living without.
- joebadmo 15y agoIt's also what makes the OS-level back button so important, which full-time iOS users seem not to understand when they cursorily try an Android phone. (http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/10/31/android-hardware http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/10/31/android-hardware) I agree with this thread that this is one of the best things about Android.
- commandar 15y agoIn fairness, I do agree with Gruber that back button behavior on Android can be painfully inconsistent. That said, I also agree with you that it provides fairly important functionality on Android. I do wish developers would use it more consistently.
