Intent英文直译为“目标、意图”等。这是Android架构松耦合的精髓部分！
Intent主要用于应用程序之间的交互与通讯，也可用于应用程序内部的Activity/Service之间的交互。比如在应用程序中调用外部程序，直接把电话拨出去或者在应用程序中的各个Activity之间切换等。
下面列出一些使用实例：
显示网页
1. Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://google.com");
2. Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
3. startActivity(it);
显示地图
1. Uri uri = Uri.parse("geo:38.899533,-77.036476");
2. Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
3. startActivity(it);
4. //其他 geo URI 范例
5. //geo:latitude,longitude
6. //geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom
7. //geo:0,0?q=my+street+address
8. //geo:0,0?q=business+near+city
9. //google.streetview:cbll=lat,lng&cbp=1,yaw,,pitch,zoom&mz=mapZoom
路径规划
1. Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=startLat%20startLng&daddr=endLat%20endLng&hl=en");
