/**
 * <p>A LiveFolder is a special folder whose content is provided by a
 * {@link android.content.ContentProvider}. To create a live folder, two components
 * are required:</p>
 * <ul>
 *  <li>An activity that can respond to the intent action {@link #ACTION_CREATE_LIVE_FOLDER}. The
 *  activity is responsible for creating the live folder.</li>
 *  <li>A {@link android.content.ContentProvider} to provide the live folder items.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Lifecycle
 * <p>When a user wants to create a live folder, the system looks for all activities with the
 * intent filter action {@link #ACTION_CREATE_LIVE_FOLDER} and presents the list to the user.
 * When the user chooses one of the activities, the activity is invoked with the
 * {@link #ACTION_CREATE_LIVE_FOLDER} action. The activity then creates the live folder and
 * passes it back to the system by setting it as an
 * {@link android.app.Activity#setResult(int, android.content.Intent) activity result}. The
 * live folder is described by a content provider URI, a name, an icon and a display mode.
 * Finally, when the user opens the live folder, the system queries the content provider
 * to retrieve the folder's content.</p>
 *
 * <h3>Setting up the live folder activity
 * <p>The following code sample shows how to write an activity that creates a live folder:

* <pre> * public static class MyLiveFolder extends Activity { * public static final Uri CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse("content://my.app/live"); * * protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { * super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); * * final Intent intent = getIntent(); * final String action = intent.getAction(); * * if (LiveFolders.ACTION_CREATE_LIVE_FOLDER.equals(action)) { * setResult(RESULT_OK, createLiveFolder(this, CONTENT_URI, "My LiveFolder", * R.drawable.ic_launcher_contacts_phones)); * } else { * setResult(RESULT_CANCELED); * } * * finish(); * } * * private static Intent createLiveFolder(Context context, Uri uri, String name, * int icon) { * * final Intent intent = new Intent(); * * intent.setData(uri); * intent.putExtra(LiveFolders.EXTRA_LIVE_FOLDER_NAME, name); * intent.putExtra(LiveFolders.EXTRA_LIVE_FOLDER_ICON, * Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(context, icon)); * intent.putExtra(LiveFolders.EXTRA_LIVE_FOLDER_DISPLAY_MODE, LiveFolders.DISPLAY_MODE_LIST); * * return intent; * } * } * </pre> * <p>The live folder is described by an {@link android.content.Intent} as follows:

* <table border="2" width="85%" align="center" frame="hsides" rules="rows"> * <thead> * <tr>
Component Type Description Required
URI{@link #EXTRA_LIVE_FOLDER_NAME}{@link #EXTRA_LIVE_FOLDER_ICON}{@link #EXTRA_LIVE_FOLDER_DISPLAY_MODE}{@link #EXTRA_LIVE_FOLDER_BASE_INTENT}Column Type Description Required
{@link #NAME}{@link #DESCRIPTION}{@link #INTENT}{@link #ICON_BITMAP}{@link #ICON_PACKAGE}{@link #ICON_RESOURCE}
