I’m confused about the difference between implicit and explicit intents. What is the purpose of implicit and explicit intents, and why are these concepts used?
I am new to Android applications, so please provide some examples.

Explicit Intent: Explicit intent names the component.
Implicit Intent: Implicit Intents have not specified a component.
E.g: The java class which should be called Implicit intent asked the system to perform a service without telling the system which java class should do this service.
