🎯 What: This PR implements a whitelist for allowed Intent actions in MainActivity.java.

⚠️ Risk: Without this validation, an attacker could potentially trigger arbitrary Android Intent actions through the MethodChannel, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive system settings or unintended app behavior.

🛡️ Solution: A static whitelist ALLOWED_ACTIONS was added, and the launchActivityFromAction method now verifies that the requested action is present in this list before proceeding. The implementation uses Collections.unmodifiableList(Arrays.asList(...)) for compatibility with older Android versions and includes a null check for the action input.

Addresses "Intent Action Injection via Unvalidated Input" by
introducing a whitelist of allowed actions in MainActivity.
The launchActivityFromAction method now validates the action
against this list before starting the activity.

- Added ALLOWED_ACTIONS whitelist
- Validated action input against the whitelist
- Handled null actions to prevent NPE
- Ensured backward compatibility using Arrays.asList and Collections.unmodifiableList
- Applied changes to both MainActivity.java locations in the project
