How to pass ability in Harmony using Intent

Question

I was trying to pass ability like we pass in android

Intent intent = new Intent(HomeActivity.this, cls);

But in Harmony we have to use operation builder so used this method

intent = new Intent();
Operation operation = new Intent.OperationBuilder().withBundleName(ability.getBundleName()).withAbilityName(name.toString()).build();
intent.setOperation(operation);

Here 'name' variable is class name.

I just wanted to know that is this the equivalent of the above android code. If not then what is the correct way

You can construct an Operation object with bundleName and abilityName specified to start and navigate to the particular ability. The sample code snippet is as follows:

Intent intent = new Intent();

// Use the OperationBuilder class of Intent to construct an Operation object and set the deviceId (left empty if a local ability is required), bundleName, and abilityName attributes for the object.
Operation operation = new Intent.OperationBuilder()
        .withDeviceId("")
        .withBundleName("com.demoapp")
        .withAbilityName("com.demoapp.FooAbility")
        .build();

// Set the created Operation object to the Intent as its operation attribute.
intent.setOperation(operation);
startAbility(intent);
