I am trying to understand the simple difference between getIntent(), getURI() and getText() in android, but it is very confusing from layman perspective. Couldn't find a similar question in stackoverflow.
A URI is already a text, then how is getURI() any different from getText(). In what scenarios does Clipboard saves a URI and text/plain mime-types ?
Does clipboard saves Intent mime-types only when they are called from a program ? or can Intents be saved by copying a file/app in filesystem in the mobile (This might be a wierd question though because I was never able to copy a file/app shortcut in mobile)
In a nutshell, can someone explain the scenarios of when a Text/URL/Intent gets saved in clipboard ? Any help will be appreciated.
