Nothing

A type that explicitly represents a lack of context.

Notes:

  • Intended to be used in situations where no context is desired.
  • For example:
    • Raising an intent without context (e.g. opening a blank order form, or chat interface without a contact selected).
    • Resetting context on a channel (e.g. when context is used to set a filter in other applications a null context might release the filter).
  • An explicit representation of a Null or empty context allows apps to declare support for a lack of context, for example in their intent metadata in an app directory.
