List intents #34

Open aspiers opened 5 years ago

Is there any reason why this app doesn't allow you to list intents? That is the only thing that I need, in order to find out how to automate tasks in other apps with Tasker or Automate.

Hi @aspiers , the main reason is : I didn't do it yet. To be more precise, listing the intents is more complex than what I've done yet, but that's an interesting addition. I'll try and make it happen in the future.

Thanks. I'm not sure why it's complex? They are listed directly in the manifest.

xgouchet commented 5 years ago

First of all my application doesn't parse the manifest itself, but instead uses the informations available from the system. Also the intents that are public only give you part of the information, but they lack the possible extra parameters that you'd need to provide to work with them.

I see, thanks. It doesn't matter if it doesn't give you the extra parameters. It's already helpful if it just provides the intent string. An incomplete solution is still more useful than no solution :-)

I more or less agree with @aspiers that something is better than nothing, although I would really like to see the extra parameters as well. As @xgouchet mentioned, the params are essential.
