What is Implicit intents in Android SDK?

Implicit intents are a type of intent in Android that allows you to start an activity without specifying the component that should handle it. Instead, you declare a general action to be performed, and the Android system determines which app can handle that request based on the intent's information. This is useful for allowing your application to interact with other applications without needing to know their specific implementation details.

Example of Implicit Intent

Here is an example of how to create and use an implicit intent to open a web page using the default web browser:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://www.example.com")); startActivity(intent);
