知道用户是否从选择器中选择了意图动作的方法

Question

Is there a way to know if the user has chosen the intent action from the chooser or not.

I want to do this - If its chosen by user then finish the current activity else remain in the current activity.

I have this code:

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an Email client :"));
finish();

But this always finishes the current activity irrespective of user chose the email client or not.

Any ideas?

You can do this by showing you own custom chooser

First get all packages which can process your intent

private List<String> getInstalledComponentList(Intent emailIntent)
            throws NameNotFoundException {

        List<ResolveInfo> ril = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(emailIntent, 0);
        List<String> componentList = new ArrayList<String>();
        String name = null;

        for (ResolveInfo ri : ril) {
            if (ri.activityInfo != null) {
                Resources res = getPackageManager().getResourcesForApplication(ri.activityInfo.applicationInfo);
                if (ri.activityInfo.labelRes != 0) {
                    name = res.getString(ri.activityInfo.labelRes);
                } else {
                    name = ri.activityInfo.applicationInfo.loadLabel(
                            getPackageManager()).toString();
                }
                componentList.add(name);
            }
        }
        return componentList;
    } 

Then show a dialog with all this list of packages like this

Then process the click event and start the selected package
