I have a question about URL got from JSON details.
This is my code:
JSONObject currentEarthquake = couponCategoryArray.getJSONObject(i);
JSONObject properties = currentEarthquake.getJSONObject("campaign");
String name = properties.getString("name");
String promo_code = currentEarthquake.getString("promocode");
String goto_store = currentEarthquake.getString("goto_link");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(goto_store));
CouponCategory couponCategory = new CouponCategory(name, promo_code, goto_store);
couponcategory.add(couponCategory);
From JSON, I get 3 fields: name, promocode and goto_link.
goto_link is URL.
My intent is click the link on goto_link field to open the link in the browser.
I added an intent under goto_link String.
Some suggestion to code it correctly?
Add this.
Your URI starts with HTTP or HTTPS like this: http://www.google.com
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(goto_store));
startActivity(browserIntent);
public void openWebPage(String url) {
try {
Uri webpage = Uri.parse(url);
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, webpage);
startActivity(myIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "No application can handle this request. Please install a web browser or check your URL.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
How is you goto link formatted ?
anyways an answer from #MarkB solves it
string goto_link = "http://www.google.com";
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(goto_link));
startActivity(browserIntent);
incase your link doesnt have the http:// part
string goto_link = "www.google.com";
if (!goto_link.startsWith("http://") && !goto_link.startsWith("https://"))
goto_link = "http://" + goto_link;
You can open a link in the browser like this:
yourButton.setOnClickListener {
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
intent.data = Uri.parse(goto_store)
if (intent.resolveActivity(requireContext().packageManager) != null)
startActivity(intent)
}
i have a document which is loaded in webViewActivity, in this document i have my email id. when users clicks my email id i want to open email app, please help me.
This is sample document.
This is text contained in document. if you have any queries please contact me at mailto#examplemail.com
Try this :
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
//Check whether url contains email or not.
// To start Email Intent
String[] mailto = { "example.com" };
// Create a new Intent to send messages
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// Add attributes to the intent
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, mailto);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "This is sample document.");
sendIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
startActivity(sendIntent);
return true;
}
Hope this helps.
I'm developing an Android app and am interested to know how you can update the app user's status from within the app using Android's share intents.
Having looked through Facebook's SDK it appears that this is easy enough to do, however I'm keen to allow the user to do it via the regular Share Intent pop up window? seen here:
I have tried the usual share intent code, however this no longer appears to work for Facebook.
public void invokeShare(Activity activity, String quote, String credit) {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, activity.getString(R.string.share_subject));
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Example text");
activity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, activity.getString(R.string.share_title)));
}
UPDATE:
Having done more digging, it looks as though it's a bug with Facebook's app that has yet to be resolved! (facebook bug) For the mean time it looks like I'm just going to have to put up with the negative "Sharing doesn't work!!!" reviews. Cheers Facebook :*(
Apparently Facebook no longer (as of 2014) allows you to customise the sharing screen, no matter if you are just opening sharer.php URL or using Android intents in more specialised ways. See for example these answers:
"Sharer.php no longer allows you to customize."
"You need to use Facebook Android SDK or Easy Facebook Android SDK to share."
Anyway, using plain Intents, you can still share a URL, but not any default text with it, as billynomates commented. (Also, if you have no URL to share, just launching Facebook app with empty "Write Post" (i.e. status update) dialog is equally easy; use the code below but leave out EXTRA_TEXT.)
Here's the best solution I've found that does not involve using any Facebook SDKs.
This code opens the official Facebook app directly if it's installed, and otherwise falls back to opening sharer.php in a browser. (Most of the other solutions in this question bring up a huge "Complete action using…" dialog which isn't optimal at all!)
String urlToShare = "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7545254";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
// intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Foo bar"); // NB: has no effect!
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, urlToShare);
// See if official Facebook app is found
boolean facebookAppFound = false;
List<ResolveInfo> matches = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo info : matches) {
if (info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().startsWith("com.facebook.katana")) {
intent.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName);
facebookAppFound = true;
break;
}
}
// As fallback, launch sharer.php in a browser
if (!facebookAppFound) {
String sharerUrl = "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=" + urlToShare;
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(sharerUrl));
}
startActivity(intent);
(Regarding the com.facebook.katana package name, see MatheusJardimB's comment.)
The result looks like this on my Nexus 7 (Android 4.4) with Facebook app installed:
The Facebook application does not handle either the EXTRA_SUBJECT or EXTRA_TEXT fields.
Here is bug link: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/332619626816423
Thanks #billynomates:
The thing is, if you put a URL in the EXTRA_TEXT field, it does
work. It's like they're intentionally stripping out any text.
The usual way
The usual way to create what you're asking for, is to simply do the following:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "The status update text");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Dialog title text"));
This works without any issues for me.
The alternative way (maybe)
The potential problem with doing this, is that you're also allowing the message to be sent via e-mail, SMS, etc. The following code is something I'm using in an application, that allows the user to send me an e-mail using Gmail. I'm guessing you could try to change it to make it work with Facebook only.
I'm not sure how it responds to any errors or exceptions (I'm guessing that would occur if Facebook is not installed), so you might have to test it a bit.
try {
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
String[] recipients = new String[]{"e-mail address"};
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, recipients);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "E-mail subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "E-mail text");
emailIntent.setType("plain/text"); // This is incorrect MIME, but Gmail is one of the only apps that responds to it - this might need to be replaced with text/plain for Facebook
final PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
final List<ResolveInfo> matches = pm.queryIntentActivities(emailIntent, 0);
ResolveInfo best = null;
for (final ResolveInfo info : matches)
if (info.activityInfo.packageName.endsWith(".gm") ||
info.activityInfo.name.toLowerCase().contains("gmail")) best = info;
if (best != null)
emailIntent.setClassName(best.activityInfo.packageName, best.activityInfo.name);
startActivity(emailIntent);
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Application not found", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
I found out you can only share either Text or Image, not both using Intents. Below code shares only Image if exists, or only Text if Image does not exits. If you want to share both, you need to use Facebook SDK from here.
If you use other solution instead of below code, don't forget to specify package name com.facebook.lite as well, which is package name of Facebook Lite. I haven't test but com.facebook.orca is package name of Facebook Messenger if you want to target that too.
You can add more methods for sharing with WhatsApp, Twitter ...
public class IntentShareHelper {
/**
* <b>Beware,</b> this shares only image if exists, or only text if image does not exits. Can't share both
*/
public static void shareOnFacebook(AppCompatActivity appCompatActivity, String textBody, Uri fileUri) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,!TextUtils.isEmpty(textBody) ? textBody : "");
if (fileUri != null) {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, fileUri);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
intent.setType("image/*");
}
boolean facebookAppFound = false;
List<ResolveInfo> matches = appCompatActivity.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
for (ResolveInfo info : matches) {
if (info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().startsWith("com.facebook.katana") ||
info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().startsWith("com.facebook.lite")) {
intent.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName);
facebookAppFound = true;
break;
}
}
if (facebookAppFound) {
appCompatActivity.startActivity(intent);
} else {
showWarningDialog(appCompatActivity, appCompatActivity.getString(R.string.error_activity_not_found));
}
}
public static void shareOnWhatsapp(AppCompatActivity appCompatActivity, String textBody, Uri fileUri){...}
private static void showWarningDialog(Context context, String message) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
.setMessage(message)
.setNegativeButton(context.getString(R.string.close), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
})
.setCancelable(true)
.create().show();
}
}
For getting Uri from File, use below class:
public class UtilityFile {
public static #Nullable Uri getUriFromFile(Context context, #Nullable File file) {
if (file == null)
return null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
try {
return FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "com.my.package.fileprovider", file);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
} else {
return Uri.fromFile(file);
}
}
// Returns the URI path to the Bitmap displayed in specified ImageView
public static Uri getLocalBitmapUri(Context context, ImageView imageView) {
Drawable drawable = imageView.getDrawable();
Bitmap bmp = null;
if (drawable instanceof BitmapDrawable) {
bmp = ((BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
} else {
return null;
}
// Store image to default external storage directory
Uri bmpUri = null;
try {
// Use methods on Context to access package-specific directories on external storage.
// This way, you don't need to request external read/write permission.
File file = new File(context.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
out.close();
bmpUri = getUriFromFile(context, file);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bmpUri;
}
}
For writing FileProvider, use this link: https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/Sharing-Content-with-Intents
Here is what I did (for text). In the code, I copy whatever text is needed to clipboard. The first time an individual tries to use the share intent button, I pop up a notification that explains if they wish to share to facebook, they need to click 'Facebook' and then long press to paste (this is to make them aware that Facebook has BROKEN the android intent system). Then the relevant information is in the field. I might also include a link to this post so users can complain too...
private void setClipboardText(String text) { // TODO
int sdk = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
if(sdk < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
android.text.ClipboardManager clipboard = (android.text.ClipboardManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
clipboard.setText(text);
} else {
android.content.ClipboardManager clipboard = (android.content.ClipboardManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
android.content.ClipData clip = android.content.ClipData.newPlainText("text label",text);
clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip);
}
}
Below is a method for dealing w/prior versions
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.menu_item_share:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "text here");
ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); //TODO
ClipData clip = ClipData.newPlainText("label", "text here");
clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip);
setShareIntent(shareIntent);
break;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
In Lollipop (21), you can use Intent.EXTRA_REPLACEMENT_EXTRAS to override the intent for Facebook specifically (and specify a link only)
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#EXTRA_REPLACEMENT_EXTRAS
private void doShareLink(String text, String link) {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, getString(R.string.share_via));
// for 21+, we can use EXTRA_REPLACEMENT_EXTRAS to support the specific case of Facebook
// (only supports a link)
// >=21: facebook=link, other=text+link
// <=20: all=link
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text + " " + link);
Bundle facebookBundle = new Bundle();
facebookBundle.putString(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, link);
Bundle replacement = new Bundle();
replacement.putBundle("com.facebook.katana", facebookBundle);
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_REPLACEMENT_EXTRAS, replacement);
} else {
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, link);
}
chooserIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(chooserIntent);
}
Seems in version 4.0.0 of Facebook so many things has changed. This is my code which is working fine. Hope it helps you.
/**
* Facebook does not support sharing content without using their SDK however
* it is possible to share URL
*
* #param content
* #param url
*/
private void shareOnFacebook(String content, String url)
{
try
{
// TODO: This part does not work properly based on my test
Intent fbIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
fbIntent.setType("text/plain");
fbIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, content);
fbIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, url);
fbIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
fbIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
fbIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.facebook.katana",
"com.facebook.composer.shareintent.ImplicitShareIntentHandler"));
startActivity(fbIntent);
return;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// User doesn't have Facebook app installed. Try sharing through browser.
}
// If we failed (not native FB app installed), try share through SEND
String sharerUrl = "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=" + url;
SupportUtils.doShowUri(this.getActivity(), sharerUrl);
}
This solution works aswell. If there is no Facebook installed, it just runs the normal share-dialog. If there is and you are not logged in, it goes to the login screen. If you are logged in, it will open the share dialog and put in the "Share url" from the Intent Extra.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Share url");
intent.setType("text/plain");
List<ResolveInfo> matches = getMainFragmentActivity().getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo info : matches) {
if (info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().contains("facebook")) {
intent.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName);
}
}
startActivity(intent);
Here is something I did which open Facebook App with Link
shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.facebook.katana",
"com.facebook.katana.activity.composer.ImplicitShareIntentHandler"));
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, videoUrl);
public void invokeShare(Activity activity, String quote, String credit) {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, activity.getString(R.string.share_subject));
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Example text");
shareIntent.putExtra("com.facebook.platform.extra.APPLICATION_ID", activity.getString(R.string.app_id));
activity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, activity.getString(R.string.share_title)));
}
Facebook does not allow to share plain text data with Intent.EXTRA_TEXT but You can share text+link with facebook messanger using this, this works fine for me
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text+url link);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
sendIntent.setPackage("com.facebook.orca");
startActivity(sendIntent);
The easiest way that I could find to pass a message from my app to facebook was programmatically copy to the clipboard and alert the user that they have the option to paste. It saves the user from manually doing it; my app is not pasting but the user might.
...
if (app.equals("facebook")) {
// overcome fb 'putExtra' constraint;
// copy message to clipboard for user to paste into fb.
ClipboardManager cb = (ClipboardManager)
getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
ClipData clip = ClipData.newPlainText("post", msg);
cb.setPrimaryClip(clip);
// tell the to PASTE POST with option to stop showing this dialogue
showDialog(this, getString(R.string.facebook_post));
}
startActivity(appIntent);
...
I want my application user to be able to share/recommend my app to other users. I use the ACTION_SEND intent. I add plain text saying something along the lines of: install this cool application. But I can't find a way to enable users to directly go to the install screen of market place for instance. All I can provide them with is a web link or some text.
In other words I am looking for a very direct way for android users to have my app installed.
Thanks for any help/pointers,
Thomas
This will let you choose from email, whatsapp or whatever.
try {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My application name");
String shareMessage= "\nLet me recommend you this application\n\n";
shareMessage = shareMessage + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID +"\n\n";
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareMessage);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "choose one"));
} catch(Exception e) {
//e.toString();
}
You can use also ShareCompat class from support library.
ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from(activity)
.setType("text/plain")
.setChooserTitle("Chooser title")
.setText("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + activity.getPackageName())
.startChooser();
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/ShareCompat.html
Thomas,
You would want to provide your users with a market:// link which will bring them directly to the details page of your app. The following is from developer.android.com:
Loading an application's Details page
In Android Market, every application
has a Details page that provides an
overview of the application for users.
For example, the page includes a short
description of the app and screen
shots of it in use, if supplied by the
developer, as well as feedback from
users and information about the
developer. The Details page also
includes an "Install" button that lets
the user trigger the download/purchase
of the application.
If you want to refer the user to a
specific application, your
application can take the user directly
to the application's Details page. To
do so, your application sends an
ACTION_VIEW Intent that includes a URI
and query parameter in this format:
market://details?id=
In this case, the packagename
parameter is target application's
fully qualified package name, as
declared in the package attribute of
the manifest element in the
application's manifest file. For
example:
market://details?id=com.example.android.jetboy
Source: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html
Call this method:
public static void shareApp(Context context)
{
final String appPackageName = context.getPackageName();
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Check out the App at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
context.startActivity(sendIntent);
}
To be more exact
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.example"));
startActivity(intent);
or if you want to share your other apps from your dev. account you can do something like this
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Your_Publisher_Name"));
startActivity(intent);
To automatically fill in the application name and application id you could use this:
int applicationNameId = context.getApplicationInfo().labelRes;
final String appPackageName = context.getPackageName();
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/plain");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, activity.getString(applicationNameId));
String text = "Install this cool application: ";
String link = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName;
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text + " " + link);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Share link:"));
Share application with title is you app_name, content is your application link
fun shareApp(context: Context) {
val appPackageName = BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID
val appName = context.getString(R.string.app_name)
val shareBodyText = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=$appPackageName"
val sendIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND).apply {
type = "text/plain"
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, appName)
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBodyText)
}
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, null))
}
I know this question has been answered, but I would like to share an alternate solution:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
String shareSubText = "WhatsApp - The Great Chat App";
String shareBodyText = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp&hl=en";
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, shareSubText);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBodyText);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share With"));
finally, this code is worked for me to open the email client from android device.
try this snippet.
Intent testIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri data = Uri.parse("mailto:?subject=" + "Feedback" + "&body=" + "Write Feedback here....." + "&to=" + "someone#example.com");
testIntent.setData(data);
startActivity(testIntent);
Kotlin extension for share action. You can share whatever you want e.g. link
fun Context.share(text: String) =
this.startActivity(Intent().apply {
action = Intent.ACTION_SEND
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text)
type = "text/plain"
})
Usage
context.share("Check https://stackoverflow.com")
According to official docs in 2021 preferred way is
fun shareTextToOtherApps(message: String) {
val sendIntent: Intent = Intent().apply {
action = Intent.ACTION_SEND
putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message)
type = "text/plain"
}
val shareIntent = Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, null)
startActivity(shareIntent)
}
Actually the best way to sheared you app between users , google (firebase) proved new technology Firebase Dynamic Link Through several lines you can make it
this is documentation
https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/
and the code is
Uri dynamicLinkUri = dynamicLink.getUri();
Task<ShortDynamicLink> shortLinkTask = FirebaseDynamicLinks.getInstance().createDynamicLink()
.setLink(Uri.parse("https://www.google.jo/"))
.setDynamicLinkDomain("rw4r7.app.goo.gl")
.buildShortDynamicLink()
.addOnCompleteListener(this, new OnCompleteListener<ShortDynamicLink>() {
#Override
public void onComplete(#NonNull Task<ShortDynamicLink> task) {
if (task.isSuccessful()) {
// Short link created
Uri shortLink = task.getResult().getShortLink();
Uri flowchartLink = task.getResult().getPreviewLink();
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shortLink.toString());
intent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(intent);
} else {
// Error
// ...
}
}
});
try {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Your Application name");
String shareMessage= "\n Your Message \n\n";
shareMessage = shareMessage + "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID +"\n\n";
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareMessage);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "choose one"));
} catch(Exception e) {
//e.toString();
}
#Linh answer is almost good but causing a crash because of the missing FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, here is what worked for me
public static void shareApp(Context context) {
final String appPackageName = context.getPackageName();
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Check out the App at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=" + appPackageName);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
context.startActivity(sendIntent);
}
