Changes

The example Android Studio application project created in this chapter will demonstrate the use of an explicit intent to launch an activity, including the transfer of data between sending and receiving activities. The next chapter ([[Android Implicit Intents – An Android Studio Example]]) will demonstrate the use of implicit intents.

Launch Android Studio and create a new project. Name the application and module ExplicitIntent and specify a suitable package name for the project. Alternatively, use the default com.example.explicitintent.explicitintent package name as a placeholder if you do not have a company URL.
