Android Intent Actions

Can anyone tell me which all Intent Actions are there in Android. I couldn't find any package as android.intent... for the Intent android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED ! So, i am assuming this action might be somewhere else in the android source.

I am asking this question because i wanted to register my Service with a Broadcast Receiver which will run after the booting is completed. I have added the intent-filter android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED in AndroidManifest.xml but still the service doesn't start after the BroadcastReceiver's o开发者_开发问答nReceive() method is called. So,i am thinking of registering my service with the receiver in onCreate() method of the service and i need the Intent-Filter and its correponding Action to be set.

Thanks, Adithya.

No. Any string can be used as an action.

Here is a sample project demonstrating the use of a BOOT_COMPLETED BroadcastReceiver.

Note that starting a service from a BOOT_COMPLETED BroadcastReceiver is typically not a good idea, because that suggests that you are trying to have a service run all of the time, and that is unlikely to work and is very likely to irritate users. Please consider using a polling architecture using AlarmManager.

For Intent, here are the Standard Activity Actions, Broadcast Actions, Categories, Extras, and Flags.
