* Android L (lollipop, API 21) introduced a new problem when trying to invoke implicit intent, | |
* "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Service Intent must be explicit" | |
* | |
* If you are using an implicit intent, and know only 1 target would answer this intent, | |
* This method will help you turn the implicit intent into the explicit form. | |
* | |
* Inspired from SO answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/26318757/1446466 | |
* @param context | |
* @param implicitIntent - The original implicit intent | |
* @return Explicit Intent created from the implicit original intent | |

// Make sure only one match was found | |
if (resolveInfo == null || resolveInfo.size() != 1) { | |
return null; | |

// Get component info and create ComponentName | |
ResolveInfo serviceInfo = resolveInfo.get(0); | |
String packageName = serviceInfo.serviceInfo.packageName; | |

// Create a new intent. Use the old one for extras and such reuse | |
