+page.title=Intents List: Invoking Google Applications on Android Devices
+@jd:body
+
+<div class="sidebox">
+For more information about intents, see the <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/intents/">Intents and Intent Filters</a>.
+</div>
+
+<p>The table below lists the intents that your application can send, to invoke Google applications on Android devices in certain ways. For each action/uri pair, the table describes how the receiving Google application handles the intent. </p>
+
+<p>Note that this list is not comprehensive.</p>

+ <td><p>Calls the entered phone number. Valid telephone numbers as defined
+ in <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3966">the IETF RFC 3966</a> are
+ accepted. Valid examples include the following:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>tel:2125551212 </li>
+ <li>tel:
+ (212) 555 1212</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>The dialer is good at normalizing some kinds of schemes: for example
+ telephone numbers, so the schema described isn't strictly required
+ in the {@link android.net.Uri#parse(java.lang.String)
+ Uri(URI string)} factory. However, if you have not tried a
+ schema or are unsure whether it can be handled, use the {@link
+ android.net.Uri#fromParts(java.lang.String, java.lang.String,
+ java.lang.String) Uri.fromParts(scheme, ssp, fragment)} factory
+ instead.</p>
+ <p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This requires your
+ application to request the following permission in your manifest: <code>&lt;uses-permission
+ id=&quot;android.permission.CALL_PHONE&quot; /&gt;</code></p></td>

+ (not fully supported) is <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mayrhofer-geo-uri-00">currently under

+ The <em>z</em> field specifies the zoom level. A zoom level of 1 shows the whole Earth, centered at the
+ given <em>lat</em>,<em>lng</em>. A zoom level of 2 shows a quarter of the Earth, and so on. The highest
+ zoom level is 23. A larger zoom level will be clamped to 23.

+ A zoom of 1.0 is 90 degree horizontal FOV for a nominal landscape mode 4
+x 3 aspect ratio display Android phones in portrait mode will adjust the zoom so
+that the vertical FOV is approximately the same as the landscape vertical FOV.
+This means that the horizontal FOV of an Android phone in portrait mode is much
+narrower than in landscape mode. This is done to minimize the fisheye lens
+effect that would be present if a 90 degree horizontal FOV was used in portrait
+mode.</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><em>mapZoom</em></td><td>The map zoom of the map location associated with this panorama. This value is passed on to the
+ Maps activity when the Street View "Go to Maps" menu item is chosen. It corresponds to the <em>z</em> paramaeter in
