Edit - http://webintents.org/edit

The edit intent is designed to give applications the ability to offer a simple mechanism to edit data from the current page.

An action that can handle edit could be anything that the user has installed, including and not limited to image manipulation tools and text editors.

The "Edit" protocol is intended to be a lightweight edit facility.

Registration

<intent
  action="http://webintents.org/edit" 
  type="image/*" 
  href="edit.html"
 />

action

Required. Must be http://webintents.org/edit

type

Optional. Types are a filter

href

Optional. If specified, it will point to the action that is loaded when the user chooses the service. If undefined, use the current page.

Invocation

var data = /* Parse the data from canvas or somewhere else */;
var intent = new Intent("http://webintents.org/edit", "image/png", data);

/* Set up the callback that recieves the data */
var onsuccess = function(data) {
  // Add the new data to the image.
  var logo = document.getElementById("wilogo");
  logo.src = data;
};

window.navigator.startActivity(intent, onsuccess);

Try it!

Edit

Data Formats

Clients and services can only interact with each other if the both support the same intent AND the same data type. Data-types can be any arbitary string, but it is expected that client and service will pass the same data if they both agree to support the protocol.
