android - intent action namespace -

android's intent documentation states :

action must in namespace because intents used globally in system

does namespace concept imply if don't use, e.g., app's bundle name prefix custom action name, may conflict action name different app, when app using intent, may start wrong component because of name conflict. there more detail needs worried when comes namespace in intents ?

more or less.

it unlikely creating custom action right solution whatever problem solve. 1 utilize case if going seek convince third-party developers invoke 1 of activities, perhaps part of sdk creating such developers. within reason, unlikely. utilize case if have suite of apps trying inter-link @ specific spots. more probable, becomes bit of problem -- default, app in scheme able start activity if chose, , securing can tricky.

note neither want nor need action string of sort activities private app. that's because neither want nor need <intent-filter> activities private app. utilize explicit intents invoke such activities.
