| <dd>Adds an action to an intent filter. |
| An <code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/intent-filter-element.html"><intent-filter></a></code> element must contain |
| one or more {@code <action>} elements. If it doesn't contain any, no |
| Intent objects will get through the filter. See |
| <a href="{@docRoot}guide/components/intents-filters.html">Intents and |
| Intent Filters</a> for details on intent filters and the role of action |
| specifications within a filter. |

| <dd>The name of the action. Some standard actions are defined in the |
| {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_CHOOSER Intent} class as |
| {@code ACTION_<i>string</i>} constants. To assign one of these actions to |
| this attribute, prepend "{@code android.intent.action.}" to the |
| {@code <i>string</i>} that follows {@code ACTION_}. |
| For example, for {@code ACTION_MAIN}, use "{@code android.intent.action.MAIN}" |
| and for {@code ACTION_WEB_SEARCH}, use "{@code android.intent.action.WEB_SEARCH}". |
| |
| <p> |
| For actions you define, it's best to use the package name as a prefix to |
| ensure uniqueness. For example, a {@code TRANSMOGRIFY} action might be specified |
| as follows: |
| </p> |
| |
| <pre><action android:name="com.example.project.TRANSMOGRIFY" /></pre> |
