Abstract
Systems and methods for disabling the self-referential appearance of a mobile application in an Intent via a background thread are disclosed. On the Android platform, an application such as a mobile application for providing access to a cloud environment or cloud based service including cloud-based storage and/or collaborative services, can serve as both a source and a target for a given Intent. In one implementation, such a mobile application that can receive and send the same Intent, can include a background service that detects when the Intent is about to be issued, and unregisters the application to prevent the application from receiving the Intent. When a target application for handling the Intent is identified, the background service re-registers the application to receive the Intent.
