ACTION_GET_CONTENT? Support EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, Please
API Level 18 sneaked in a new standard for ACTION_GET_CONTENT
that addresses a
long-standing request: multiple selections.
ACTION_GET_CONTENT
requests can add
an EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE
boolean extra.
Setting this to true
means that the requester would like the user to be able
to allow to select multiple pieces of content, not just one.
If you publish an activity with ACTION_GET_CONTENT
support, please consider adding
support for EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE
. Requesters of ACTION_GET_CONTENT
will need to handle
the case where the user chooses some activity that lacks EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE
support.
However, some developers will not bother trying to ask for EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE
, until
there is a decent chance that some activity will actually honor it.
