Android Intent/Filter

Intent:

An Intent is a messaging object that represents an intention to perform an operation. It's a way to request an action from another component of the Android system.

Explicit Intent:

Specifies the component (like activity, service, or broadcast receiver) that should handle the intent by explicitly naming the target class.

Example:

                  
                    Intent explicitIntent = new Intent(this, TargetActivity.class);
startActivity(explicitIntent);
                  
                
Implicit Intent:

Declares a general action to be performed without specifying the target component.

The system resolves the intent to the appropriate component based on the available components that can handle the specified action and data.

Example:

                      
                        Intent explicitIntent = new Intent(this, TargetActivity.class);
    startActivity(explicitIntent);
                      
                    

In this example, the onCreateView method is overridden to inflate the layout defined in fragment_layout.xml.

This layout can then be added to an activity dynamically.
