Intents An intent works in two ways between two apps: one app sends a request and another app handles it.
This gives apps the ability to communicate with one another and share their resources.

# Send Intent

In the example below, we have one app sending the 'pickfriend' intent using App Manager to inquire friends for invitation. Sending this intent will prompt any installed application that can handle the request.

# Declare Intent

On the other hand, an application such as the Contact's app can handle the inquired intent by declaring it in the manifest file. With this declaration, the Contact's app is notifying other apps that it has the resources to fulfill the listed intent.

# Handle Intent

With the help of App Manager, the Contact's app can listen to the intent live and handle it accordingly.

# Send Intent Response

Once the Contact's app handled the intent's request, it can send the request back to the app inquirer.
