This section demonstrates how to collect battery information from the Magic Leap 2's Compute Pack and Controller in Unity. See the Android Intents Overview guide for information regarding the native implementation.

Introduction

Explicit intents specify which application will satisfy the intent, by supplying either the target app's package name or a fully-qualified component class name. Explicit Intents can also be used to pass data to other activities.

Implicit Intents do not directly specify the Android components which should be called, it only specifies an action to be performed. This allows a component from another app to handle the action request. For example, you may want to prompt the user to perform eye-tracking calibration.

The Magic Leap 2 uses an Android based operating system which provides access to core Android-based features. This section will provide an overview on how developers can use intents to open external activities on the Magic Leap 2.

Unity developers can use intents inside their applications to open external activities and services. For example, you can use Intents to open the Eye Calibration application after detecting poor accuracy when using the Eye Tracking feature, or if you want the user to localize into a map before loading the content from your application. This section provides examples of how to call both implicit and explicit intents.

Magic Leap 2 (ML2) devices provide a USB SIP/SOP flow on medical devices that is 60601 compliant. We’ve introduced custom Android intents to enable our users to implement their own flow. This functionality broadcasts custom Android Intents when specific events occur - event intents.

The Magic Leap 2 offers Speech Commands, which allow applications to perform custom and system actions. When enabled, users can use their voice to interact with applications on the device. The can also be used to perform system tasks, such as changing the volume of audio, exiting an application or taking a camera capture, in place of using other input methods. Notably, these speech commands work offline which means they can be used even when there is no network connection.
