RE: About access to web app through web intent from android app

In that "Web Intents" is a web-ization of Android Intents, wouldn't web intents be generic across any web enabled app, and Android apps would have to use the generic web intents to play in the web pool of providers? They could always also use Android specific intents to differentiate their providers from the generic pool. Otherwise, I would think that web intents would have to specify an intent flavor so that only compatible services would respond to requests.

Thanks!

Subject: About access to web app through web intent from android app

Hi,

I am now planning to apply a GSoC project for webintents. The project require making a bridge between android app and web app. Now I got a problem. For example, if the android app submit a "share" intent, how I can return it relevant web apps. In other words, is there any interface for web intents which android apps have access to?

Any hints are appreciated.

Thanks
