The function a given Intent Sender is capable of performing is fixed at the point it is constructed.
An Intent Sender is used to perform a function with an Intent as though it was being done by the Application whose identity it encapsulates.
An IntentSender instance cannot be constructed directly but one can be obtained from a PendingIntent instance.
A PendingIntent instance is a reference to an object which represents the PendingIntent and which exists independently of the Application which created it and those that use it. Multiple distinct PendingIntent instances in the same process can all refer to the same PendingIntent object.
The function to be performed by the IntentSender encapsulated by a given PendingIntent is determined by the way in which it is constructed.
According to the documentation the requestCode is not currently used . This is not strictly true. See here
It can also also used to pass any of the flags defined by the Intent class constants which can be passed to the Intent.fillIn() method.
flags is equal to the flags specified when the PendingIntent was created, excluding the same flag values as above
If we assume that there are currently no existing PendingIntent objects and that an Activity in an Application executes the following
A SecurityException will be thrown if the calling Application did not create the PendingIntent object which is referenced by the PendingIntent instance.
will return a PendingIntent instance which can be used to return results to the Activity which invoked this method via its Activity.onActivityResult() method
The semantics of the code argument are determined by the function being performed by the IntentSender.
which will be invoked when the function being performed by the IntentSender has been completed. The exact semantics are determined by the function being performed.
When an IntentSender is being used to start an Activity the code argument is not used and if the onFinished argument is not null
If the IntentSender is no longer valid, for example, it has been cancelled, then an instance of the class IntentSender.SendException will be thrown.
Although it is not clear from the documentation when an IntentSender is used to broadcast an Intent the onFinished argument controls how the broadcast is performed.
When the ordered broadcast completes the onSendFinished() method is invoked with the results, with the
arguments being the values which would be returned from calls to the corresponding accessor methods in a BroadcastReceiver.onReceive() method.
The output is not exactly the same as in the original example because the initialData cannot be specified.
When an IntentSender is being used to start a Service the code argument is not used and if the onFinished argument is not null
respectively, but despite this they can in fact be used with any IntentSender not just those which start Activities.
In practice it is not done quite like this for security reasons. Note that this makes it possible to turn off flags which cannot be done using the Intent.fillIn() method.
If the startIntentSenderForResult() is used to start an Activity then once it has finished, the calling Activity’s onActivityResult() method will be called as normal.
Of these the first four are simply wrapper methods around the fifth, providing the appropriate defaults as necessary.
My Life My Say, the award-winning, political engagement charity, has launched a Social Inclusion Unit (SIU) to advise government, business and the third sector on delivering socially inclusive products and services.
“What's clear after the divisiveness caused by Brexit is the need for a greater focus on inclusion, whether this in London or in towns and cities across the UK. The Unit's work will help businesses and policy makers alike to put young people at the heart of their work, ensuring that we have a fairer society for all.”
Plexal, the innovation hub home of technology and innovation based at Here East on the site of London’s the former 2012 Olympic Park and home to hundreds of scaleups, academics and corporates, is partnering the SIU with on its launch project; a study into how businesses in the technology sector can deliver greater social inclusion through their phases of growth and product creation.
The research highlights that businesses were thought to have the same level of responsibility as charities and NGOs to help prevent social exclusion. A fifth of the UK feel that these organisations have responsibility for helping those excluded from society to re-integrate, with 38% saying they think businesses are doing too little on this front. The government is deemed most responsible, with 52% claiming so, and 4-in-10 believing they are not currently doing enough to aid social inclusion.
The SIU welcomes partnership and mandates from organisations that share its commitment to social inclusion, integration and collaboration. The SIU’s income will be invested in My Life My Say to further its commitment to deliver greater democratic participation in the UK.

I know many people are frustrated with the new iGoogle layout, which they conveniently don't let you change.
Personally, I'm indifferent about it, there are things I like better in both the old and the new layout.
There was a story in Techcrunch today about a hosting provider (Meteora Technologies Group) that accidentally revealing revealed a dump of Kleiner Perkins’s iFund database. The moral of the story don’t even put stuff publicly online that you don’t want Google (or the public) to find out about.
Google isn’t just good at their job, they are the best on the face of the earth at indexing the Internet. They do it faster and better than any other search engine. Google will index this blog within about 15 minutes of a post being published, the other search engines who knows. Pretty impressive considering how small this blog is. Google finds things that you don’t even realize Google could find.
The only solution is if you have something you don’t want Google to find, put it behind a login screen, one that even Google can’t get past. If you can’t build it or don’t know how to set it up, then don’t put it online.
