In Android programming, there is the term Intent, how can it be more adequately translated into Russian?

Question

Android

In dictionaries, this is translated as: intention, intent, purpose, desire. But I don't understand how to put it in context. Yes, and Activities, like Activities or Activities , don't sound like much.

Answer 1

In agent systems, afaik, it translates as intent . And the meaning here is exactly this, so I vote for this option :)
There is also a calque intension , but its semantics have been firmly hammered behind them, so it's no good.

Answer 2

I skipped a topic about a book in Russian - habrahabr.ru/blogs/mobiledev/105590/
You can see the table of contents for free in it: www.bhv.ru/books/full_contents.php?id=187679
The terms “activity” and “intention” are used there.

Answer 3

Let met googletranslate that for you: translate.google.com/?hl=ru#en|ru|intent
It's better not to translate to avoid confusion.

Answer 4

Activity can at the very least be understood as an activity, but Intent is already such a well-established term that it is better to transiterate it as much as possible ...
