Direct Known Subclasses:

ImageIntent, VideoIntent

public abstract class ContentIntent<I extends ContentIntent<I>>
extends BaseIntent<I>

A BaseIntent builder implementation providing base API for building and starting of intents targeting a content previewing/editing/obtaining related applications.

The content intent may be intent to obtain or preview specific type of content, like image, audio, video, .... To decide which type of intent (obtain/preview) should be started, the current set of ContentIntent.ContentHandler is checked, if it isn't empty an OBTAIN intent will be started, so chooser dialog will be showed with a list items specific for each of current providers. If there are no providers assigned to this intent builder and there was specified valid Uri to input(Uri), a PREVIEW intent will be started.

Constructor Detail

ContentIntent

public ContentIntent()

Method Detail

createContentFileTimeStamp

public static String createContentFileTimeStamp()

Creates a time stamp in the CONTENT_FILE_TIME_STAMP_FORMAT format for the current Date that may be used as name for a content file.

Returns:

String representation of the current time stamp.

createContentFile

public static File createContentFile(String fileName,
                                     String externalDirectoryType)

Same as createContentFile(String, File) with directory obtained via Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(String) with the specified externalDirectoryType as type.

Parameters:

fileName - The desired name for the requested file.

externalDirectoryType - One of Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES, Environment.DIRECTORY_MOVIES, ..., external directory types.

createContentFile

public static File createContentFile(String fileName,
                                     File directory)

Creates a new file with the given parameters within the specified directory.

Parameters:

fileName - The desired name for the requested file. Must also contain a suffix for the file.

directory - The directory within which should be the requested file created.

Returns:

New instance of the desired file or null if some IO error occurs during its creation process.

See Also:

createContentFile(String, String)

withDefaultHandlers

public abstract ContentIntent withDefaultHandlers(android.content.Context context)

Attaches default content handlers to this intent.

Type and count of default handlers may differ depending on a specific ContentIntent implementation.

Returns:

This intent builder to allow methods chaining.

withHandlers

public I withHandlers(ContentIntent.ContentHandler... handlers)

Same as withHandlers(List) for variable array of ContentHandlers.

Parameters:

handlers - The desired array of handlers to add.

withHandlers

public I withHandlers(List<ContentIntent.ContentHandler> handlers)

Same as withHandler(ContentHandler) for list of handler items.

Parameters:

handlers - The desired list of handlers items to add. May be null to clear the current one.

Returns:

This intent builder to allow methods chaining.

withHandler

public I withHandler(ContentIntent.ContentHandler handler)

Adds the specified content handler item into the list of handlers. These handler items will be used to build a chooser dialog with list of these items (if any) so a user may choose one of them to handle a specific content intent. Such dialog is created and showed whenever content intent is started via startWith(IntentStarter) and there is at least one handler item.

Parameters:

handler - The desired handler item to add.

Returns:

This intent builder to allow methods chaining.

See Also:

withHandlers(ContentHandler...), withDefaultHandlers(Context), handlers()

handlers

public List<ContentIntent.ContentHandler> handlers()

Returns the list of content handlers to be displayed in a chooser dialog.

Returns:

List of handlers or Collections.EMPTY_LIST if no content handlers has been added yet.

input

public I input(android.net.Uri uri)

Sets an Uri to a content that should be previewed by an activity that can handle/preview the content of the data type specified via dataType(String). The specified Uri will be attached to an intent build via build(Context) if there are no content handlers attached to this intent builder.

Note, that the current data type will be set to null, so dataType(String) should be called immediately after a new Uri is set. A specific implementations of this ContentIntent builder may here specify a default data type.

Parameters:

uri - The desired uri, which should be delivered to the handling activity. May be null to clear the current one.

Returns:

This intent builder to allow methods chaining.
