Implicit Intents

What is Implicit Intents?
Implicit Intents do not specify the target component explicitly like Explicit Intents. Instead, they allow the system to find a suitable component matching the Intent description to handle the request. The system will find an activity that can handle this intent by comparing the <intent-filter> section in the AndroidManifest.xml of all apps installed on the device against the Implicit Intent.
