/**
 * <p>
 * This class represents a data model for choosing a component for handing a
 * given {@link Intent}. The model is responsible for querying the system for
 * activities that can handle the given intent and order found activities
 * based on historical data of previous choices. The historical data is stored
 * in an application private file. If a client does not want to have persistent
 * choice history the file can be omitted, thus the activities will be ordered
 * based on historical usage for the current session.
 * <p>
 * </p>
 * For each backing history file there is a singleton instance of this class. Thus,
 * several clients that specify the same history file will share the same model. Note
 * that if multiple clients are sharing the same model they should implement semantically
 * equivalent functionality since setting the model intent will change the found
 * activities and they may be inconsistent with the functionality of some of the clients.
 * For example, choosing a share activity can be implemented by a single backing
 * model and two different views for performing the selection. If however, one of the
 * views is used for sharing but the other for importing, for example, then each
 * view should be backed by a separate model.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The way clients interact with this class is as follows:
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <pre>
 * <code>
 *  // Get a model and set it to a couple of clients with semantically similar function.
 *  ActivityChooserModel dataModel =
 *      ActivityChooserModel.get(context, "task_specific_history_file_name.xml");
 *
 *  ActivityChooserModelClient modelClient1 = getActivityChooserModelClient1();
 *  modelClient1.setActivityChooserModel(dataModel);
 *
 *  ActivityChooserModelClient modelClient2 = getActivityChooserModelClient2();
 *  modelClient2.setActivityChooserModel(dataModel);
 *
 *  // Set an intent to choose a an activity for.
 *  dataModel.setIntent(intent);
 * <pre>
 * <code>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note:</strong> This class is thread safe.
 * </p>
