对 于Android的Intent相关内容，可能部分初级Android开发者不知道PendingIntent是干什么的? 对于Notification和SmsManager中的sendMessage以及AlarmManager中的set这些方法中均有 PendingIntent，到底PendingIntent和Intent有哪些不同呢?
一、Intent
通常Android中的Intent位于android.content.Intent的实现比较简单，直接从Object类实现，内部主要是保存了一些String或Int、轻量级的数组，提供了一些方法主要是赋值或取值。
二、PendingIntent
这里和Intent的不同分在了android.app.PendingIntent这个包中，属于app层而不是数据存储封装的content层，从首 段我们看到了PendingIntent是针对将要发生的事情，比如短信发送时，本对象用于跟踪未来短信的接收情况，主要是短信回执报告和发送成功或失 败，因为GSM通讯到RIL再到移动基站的过程很漫长，通过开一个Thread等待对于我们的应用是比较麻烦和耗资源，而Android的框架层的 TelephonyManager底层远程服务会跟踪，最终通过PendingIntent来跟踪，有关具体实现原理和代码如下:
public final class PendingIntent implements Parcelable { //实现了Parcelable接口，可以方便的处理二进制数据和用于远程服务的数据交换
private final IIntentSender mTarget;
public static final int FLAG_ONE_SHOT = 1<<30;
public static final int FLAG_NO_CREATE = 1<<29;
public static final int FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT = 1<<28;
public static final int FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT = 1<<27;
public static class CanceledException extends AndroidException {
public CanceledException() {
}
public CanceledException(String name) {
super(name);
}
public CanceledException(Exception cause) {
super(cause);
}
}
public interface OnFinished {
void onSendFinished(PendingIntent pendingIntent, Intent intent,
int resultCode, String resultData, Bundle resultExtras);
}
private static class FinishedDispatcher extends IIntentReceiver.Stub//这里Android123友情提示如果你掌握了Android的RemoteService或Java RMI这里应该好理解
implements Runnable {
private final PendingIntent mPendingIntent;
private final OnFinished mWho;
private final Handler mHandler;
private Intent mIntent;
private int mResultCode;
private String mResultData;
private Bundle mResultExtras;
FinishedDispatcher(PendingIntent pi, OnFinished who, Handler handler) {
mPendingIntent = pi;
mWho = who;
mHandler = handler;
}
public void performReceive(Intent intent, int resultCode,
String data, Bundle extras, boolean serialized, boolean sticky) {
mIntent = intent;
mResultCode = resultCode;
mResultData = data;
mResultExtras = extras;
if (mHandler == null) {
run();
} else {
mHandler.post(this);
}
}
public void run() {
mWho.onSendFinished(mPendingIntent, mIntent, mResultCode,
mResultData, mResultExtras);
}
}
public static PendingIntent getActivity(Context context, int requestCode,
Intent intent, int flags) {
String packageName = context.getPackageName();
String resolvedType = intent != null ? intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(
context.getContentResolver()) : null;
try {
IIntentSender target =
ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().getIntentSender(
IActivityManager.INTENT_SENDER_ACTIVITY, packageName,
null, null, requestCode, intent, resolvedType, flags);
return target != null ? new PendingIntent(target) : null;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
}
return null;
}
public static PendingIntent getBroadcast(Context context, int requestCode,
Intent intent, int flags) {
String packageName = context.getPackageName();
String resolvedType = intent != null ? intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(
context.getContentResolver()) : null;
try {
IIntentSender target =
ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().getIntentSender(
IActivityManager.INTENT_SENDER_BROADCAST, packageName,

return null;
}
public static PendingIntent getService(Context context, int requestCode,
Intent intent, int flags) {
String packageName = context.getPackageName();
String resolvedType = intent != null ? intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(
context.getContentResolver()) : null;
try {
IIntentSender target =
ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().getIntentSender(
IActivityManager.INTENT_SENDER_SERVICE, packageName,
null, null, requestCode, intent, resolvedType, flags);
return target != null ? new PendingIntent(target) : null;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
}
return null;
}
public IntentSender getIntentSender() {
return new IntentSender(mTarget);
}
public void cancel() {
try {
ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().cancelIntentSender(mTarget);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
}
}
public void send() throws CanceledException {
send(null, 0, null, null, null);
}
public void send(int code) throws CanceledException {
send(null, code, null, null, null);
}
public void send(Context context, int code, Intent intent)
throws CanceledException {

}
public void send(Context context, int code, Intent intent,
OnFinished onFinished, Handler handler) throws CanceledException {
try {
String resolvedType = intent != null ?
intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(context.getContentResolver())
: null;
int res = mTarget.send(code, intent, resolvedType,
onFinished != null
? new FinishedDispatcher(this, onFinished, handler)
: null);
if (res < 0) {
throw new CanceledException();
}
} catch (RemoteException e) {
throw new CanceledException(e);
}
}
public String getTargetPackage() {
try {
return ActivityManagerNative.getDefault()
.getPackageForIntentSender(mTarget);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// Should never happen.
return null;
}
}
@Override
public boolean equals(Object otherObj) {
if (otherObj instanceof PendingIntent) {
return mTarget.asBinder().equals(((PendingIntent)otherObj)
.mTarget.asBinder());
}
return false;
}
@Override
public int hashCode() {
return mTarget.asBinder().hashCode();
}
@Override
public String toString() {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(128);
sb.append("PendingIntent{");
sb.append(Integer.toHexString(System.identityHashCode(this)));
sb.append(": ");
sb.append(mTarget != null ? mTarget.asBinder() : null);
sb.append('}');
return sb.toString();
}
public int describeContents() {
return 0;
}
public void writeToParcel(Parcel out, int flags) {
out.writeStrongBinder(mTarget.asBinder());
}
public static final Parcelable.Creator<PendingIntent> CREATOR
= new Parcelable.Creator<PendingIntent>() {
public PendingIntent createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
IBinder target = in.readStrongBinder();
return target != null ? new PendingIntent(target) : null;
}
public PendingIntent[] newArray(int size) {
return new PendingIntent[size];
}
};
public static void writePendingIntentOrNullToParcel(PendingIntent sender,
Parcel out) {
out.writeStrongBinder(sender != null ? sender.mTarget.asBinder()
: null);
}
public static PendingIntent readPendingIntentOrNullFromParcel(Parcel in) {
IBinder b = in.readStrongBinder();
return b != null ? new PendingIntent(b) : null;
}
/*package*/ PendingIntent(IIntentSender target) {
mTarget = target;
}
/*package*/ PendingIntent(IBinder target) {
mTarget = IIntentSender.Stub.asInterface(target);
}
/** @hide */
public IIntentSender getTarget() {
return mTarget;
}
}
整体来说PendingIntent的实现比较简单，主要和Android特定的的远程服务打交道（短信、通知、闹铃等），通常的应用无需使用。
