A Flutter plugin to pass Android Intents to the Flutter environment.

`Intent` in Android is the backbone of communicating between and within apps. This plugin passes the `Intent`, which "started"  the `Activity` (which is running flutter runtime) to the flutter environment. It also passes any "new Intent" that was received while the `Activity` was already "started" (via [`Activity.onNewIntent`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#onNewIntent(android.content.Intent))).

If the `Intent` was "started" via `startActivityForResult`, then this plugin also sends additional information (package name and app signature) about the "calling" Android Component, and can send "result" back (via [`Activity.setResult`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#setResult(int))) to it.

This widget is in active development.

## Use cases
- [OAuth based App Flip](https://developers.google.com/identity/account-linking/app-flip-overview) - This was the initial motivation for this plugin. The plugin can used to pass the `Intent` sent by Google App to the flutter environment - where the UI for consent for user is show - once it is authorized (or not), the result is sent back to the Google App.
- In general, if you want other apps to "start" your app, then this plugin can pass the `Intent` that "triggered" it to the flutter environment of the app. These `Intent` will give the app understanding of why the app was started. Check [Getting started](#getting-started) section to implement this.
