Custom Intents

This Launcher feature invokes Android Intents during certain device or user actions.

The BlueFletch Launcher's Custom Intent capability is a means of triggering actions that will repeat when a certain device state is true. Custom Intents eases the efforts of administrators and users alike by automating app activities to occur at a predictable time, such as login, logout, boot, or cradle. Launcher can invoke Android intents to do anything from opening a particular app each time a certain user group logs in, to muting the audio ten seconds after a device is cradled.

Custom Intents can be invoked on these device events/state changes:

Custom Intent Contents

When a device event occurs, its array of intents can be made up of:

• Standard Android Intents - Intents directly provided by Android, such as starting an application or sending a broadcast.
• Platform Actions - Intents customized by BlueFletch to build off of Android's standard intents.
• Replacement Variables - Custom Intents support replacement variables so the intent can dynamically respond to data from the device.
• Filters - Custom Intents can be filtered to only run in a subset of scenarios, based on criteria.
