App Communication

Android relies heavily on app interaction and collaboration to achieve complex tasks requested by the user. Following this principle, we’ve designed Billpocket’s Android App integration scheme to empower your app by doing the heavy lifting for you.

The two primary means to achieve this app collaboration are Intents and URLs. Intents allow Android app components (such as Activities, Services, etc) to communicate and transfer data between them, and it’s the preferred and swiftest way to achieve seamless integration between applications. If you’re developing a native app, Intent’s are the way to go.

Please note Android imposes some controls when interacting with other apps, please see their docs

Billpocket integration library
