BaseIntent (library API)

java.lang.Object
- universum.studios.android.intent.BaseIntent<I>

Type Parameters:

I - A type of the BaseIntent implementation to allow proper methods chaining.

Direct Known Subclasses:

CalendarIntent, ContentIntent, DialerIntent, EmailIntent, MapIntent, PlayIntent, ShareIntent, SimpleIntent, SmsIntent, WebIntent
```
public abstract class BaseIntent<I extends BaseIntent>
extends Object
```
A BaseIntent specifies base API for intent builders. Some Android intents require a lots of data to be supplied to them and the intent builders should provide API to simplify such a set up process.
Implementation
Implementations of the BaseIntent class need to implement these methods:
- build(Context)
  This method is called whenever startWith(IntentStarter) is invoked and a specific intent builder implementation should build here an intent which is for that type of intent builder specific and configure it with data supplied through its setters API.
- onStartWith(IntentStarter, Intent)
  It is not required to override this method. Default implementation of this method only starts the intent obtained via build(Context) method via IntentStarter.startIntent(Intent). If a specific intent builder implementation requires for example starting intent as activity for result, than it should be done within this method.
Activity transitions
BaseIntent class provides also API to supply activity transitions via enterTransition(int) and exitTransition(int). These transitions will be used whenever onStartWith(IntentStarter, Intent) is called using the intent starter's IntentStarter.overridePendingTransition(int, int).
