Android Intents

[Declan]

I have an Android application that is to assist students.
I would like to include OpenOffice for Android modules.
Once OpenOffice for Android is installed on the Android Tablet, what intents are required to be called from my application to start:
Text Document
Spreadsheet
Presentation
Ideally, I would like to display the three icons that represent the three modules, then give the user the option of either opening an existing document or create a new document.

An Intent is basically a message to say you did or want something to happen. Depending on the intent, apps or the OS might be listening for it and will react accordingly.used when you have an idea of what you want to do, but you do not know which component should be launched. Or if you want to give the user an option to choose between a list of components to use. If these Intents are send to the Android system it searches for all components which are registered for the specific action and the data type. If only one component is found, Android starts the component directly.
