What is OpenIntents about?

We design and implement open intents and interfaces to make Android mobile applications work more closely together. We provide samples and free applications to demonstrate their usage.

If you are interested as a developer or designer, feel free to join us in our discussion group.

Now, jump directly to

  • Discussions: discuss bugs and new features directly with the developers
  • Translations: help us at Launchpad to translate OI apps into various languages
  • FeatureRequests: see what is on top of the feature request list

and start contributing!

Reusable components

Your application can use the following components through intents:

Tools for developers

  • Androidxml2po: Use this script and Launchpad to get your app translated automatically in many languages by volunteers.
  • Sensor simulator: Helps to simulate sensory input.

Hi Openintents group!

I am not sure if it is the right place to go, but I have a Dream PDA want to be implemented while I don't have such a resource to make it into reality, so... -> Will Openintents help me to turn my dream into reality, fully or partially?

My Dream PDA or PDA phone (2nd phase) is called "waTaw": -> "waTaw" means: Write AnyTime?, AnyWhere? -> it is for Creatives or Busy Sales -> it use eink epaper as the display

More detailed idea and features wanted can be found here: http://kb.yoga-pedia.org/wiki/view/WaTaw_PDA

If OpenIntents is the right place for waTaw, pls. let me know and go further! If it is not, pls. let me know too, so that I can look for new helpers /partners!

Thanks for any kinds of help!

Rgds, JMY(晉明夷)

Idea: service to manage networking. Andorid have different means of communication - xmpp, sms, http, may be something else. But not all of them can be acessible all the time and on all devices, and costs may also differ. So, a service that can find how to pass a piece of data to remote device in a best way available would be a good help. Also, this service could let phone user to limit how much money some app can spend on networking.

My project is called uPostLive. The application would overlay on Google Mobile Maps. It consists of 2 basic concepts.

1. Traffic information from multi-user collaboration. The community of traveling Android smart phone users would post short voice bloggs with useful information about traffic conditions as they occur. Users would see a uPost blogg icon on the Google map ... then click to listen. Maybe it's stopped traffic, maybe it's radar trap ... all sorts of useful--and timely--information could be shared.

2. The concept also includes Adposts, pay per click advertisements. This could be billions in income for Google (or Microsoft?) but in the beginning it will be free. AdPosts? are audio clips that help local businesses reach out to traveling consumers with promotional information about gas, food, lodging, etc. Users would see the AdPost? icon at the location of the business making the offer.

A better explanation can be obtained by looking at the simulation that I have built: http://www.joannacox.com/uPost.html

This is huge! Developers needed, we'll share the "incredible" wealth!

I'm a bit confused about your project. Does this allow me to have third party developers make plugins for my application?

Above URL (especially the quote "propriotory aplicaton" !;-) has brought me to a brilliant idea for another Intent (possibly part of ContentBrowser??) Spell Check !!!

Many browsers including Firefox or Safari offer this. Not sure about Chrome, as it is not mature enough (and does not exist on Mac ;-/) to be tested a lot...

When can I download OpenIntents.apk and openintents-lib-n.n.n.jar ???

Comment by alex.san...@gmail.com, Jul 1, 2010

Idea: When a call is received, check the incoming number against existing phone number of contacts. If the number is not there, do a 411 and show the 411 information.

Comment by akt...@gmx.de, Jul 3, 2010

Responding to KrogliakL's comment, they apparently ment http://code.google.com/p/openintents/downloads/list?can=1&q=SensorSimulator&colspec=Filename+Summary+Uploaded+Size+DownloadCount

Those include the OpenIntents.apk and a openintents-lib.jar file.
