In the example, intent-filter describes the location and time when an activity

is launched and creates an intent object whenever an activity (or OS) is to execute an
operation. The information carried by the intent object can describe what you want to
do, which data and type of data you want to process, and other information. Android
compares the intent-filter data exposed by each application and finds the most
suitable activity to handle the data and operations specified by the caller.
