Filtering chooser intent

I want to get emails from users. I am trying to filter the chooser intent but i am stuck at some point.
Chooser intent brings the user's contacts. I just want to show the installed email apps, with 'to' field auto filled of course.
How can I remove user's contacts and show email apps only?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
here is my code so far:
List<Intent> emailAppLauncherIntents = new ArrayList<>();
Intent emailAppIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailAppIntent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:test#mail.com"));
emailAppIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, "");
emailAppIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Feedback on "+getContext().getPackageName());
emailAppIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, mailBody);
PackageManager packageManager = getActivity().getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> emailApps = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(emailAppIntent, PackageManager.MATCH_ALL);
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : emailApps) {
String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
Intent launchIntent = packageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
emailAppLauncherIntents.add(launchIntent);
}
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(new Intent(), "Select email app:");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, emailAppLauncherIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[emailAppLauncherIntents.size()]));
startActivity(chooserIntent);

Changing the MIME type is the answer
Use
intent.setType("message/rfc822");

this is how i made it.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri data = Uri.parse("mailto:"
+ "xyz#abc.com"
+ "?subject=" + "Feedback" + "&body=" + "");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Feedback";
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { "xyz#abc.com" });
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, mailBody);
intent.setData(data);
startActivity(intent);

Android share intent Twitter: How to share only by Tweet or Direct Message?

I need to share an image via only Tweet.
Here is my code
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
if (mInsertableToGallery) {
mInsertableToGallery = false;
mInsertedImagePath = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), mShareImage,
getResources().getString(R.string.app_name) + System.currentTimeMillis(), getResources().getString(R.string.app_name));
}
// share only 5 specific apps:
List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<>();
List<ResolveInfo> resInfos = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(shareIntent, 0);
if (!resInfos.isEmpty()) {
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : resInfos) {
String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
Intent targetedShareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
targetedShareIntent.setType("image/*");
targetedShareIntent.setPackage(packageName);
targetedShareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(mInsertedImagePath));
if (TextUtils.equals(packageName, "com.facebook.katana") //fb
||TextUtils.equals(packageName, "com.instagram.android") //instagram
||TextUtils.equals(packageName, "jp.naver.line.android") //line
||TextUtils.equals(packageName, "com.google.android.apps.plus") // plus
||TextUtils.equals(packageName, "com.twitter.android")) // twitter
{
targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShareIntent);
}
}
}
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(0), "");
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
startActivity(chooser);
and I get the result:
When click "Android System", Twitter share popup:

How to share via Twitter only by Tweet or Direct Message ?
How to change title & icon of share item. Ex Twitter share item from "Android System" to "Tweet"?

I couldn't manage to get both Tweet and Direct Message to the front but the following code will get you either one there. Actually you can get both to the front but both appears with same name "Tweet" so its kind of unusable.
I have also included facebook, insta and tumblr.
To get Direct Message in place of tweet replace com.twitter.android.composer.ComposerActivity with com.twitter.android.DMActivity. To get both add another ' if ' for DMActivity.
Can't say surely but I don't think you can change the Icon of the package for your app.
List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");//("text/plain");
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(outFile);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(shareIntent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : resInfo) {
String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
Intent targetedShareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
targetedShareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
targetedShareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
if(TextUtils.equals(packageName,"com.facebook.katana")|TextUtils.equals(packageName,"com.instagram.android")
|TextUtils.equals(packageName,"com.tumblr")) {
targetedShareIntent.setPackage(packageName);
targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShareIntent);
}
if(TextUtils.equals(resolveInfo.activityInfo.name,"com.twitter.android.composer.ComposerActivity")) {
targetedShareIntent.setPackage(packageName);
targetedShareIntent.setClassName(
resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName,
resolveInfo.activityInfo.name);
targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShareIntent);
}
}
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(0), "Select app to share");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
startActivity(chooserIntent);

For composing new Tweet:
public static Intent getTwitterShareIntent(Context context) {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
shareIntent.setClassName("com.twitter.android",
"com.twitter.composer.ComposerShareActivity");
return shareIntent;
}

Android -- Include both text and html sharing services in chooser?

I want to share dynamic text fields for Facebook, Twitter, email and SMS apps. For email, I want to include hyperlinks, so I'd need to use "text/html" instead of "text/plain". Is this impossible? The following code does not work:
List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
PackageManager pm = getActivity().getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> activityList = pm.queryIntentActivities(sharingIntent, 0);
for(final ResolveInfo app : activityList) {
String packageName = app.activityInfo.packageName;
Intent targetedShareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
targetedShareIntent.setType("text/plain");
targetedShareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, getTextToShare(data));
targetedShareIntent.setPackage(packageName);
targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShareIntent);
}
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("text/html");
List<ResolveInfo> emailList = pm.queryIntentActivities(emailIntent, 0);
for(final ResolveInfo app : emailList) {
String packageName = app.activityInfo.packageName;
Intent targetedShareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
targetedShareIntent.setType("text/html");
if (packageName.contains("android.email") || packageName.contains("android.gm")) {
targetedShareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, data.getHeadline());
targetedShareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(getTextToShare(data, "Email")));
}
targetedShareIntent.setPackage(packageName);
targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShareIntent);
}
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(targetedShareIntents.size() - 1), "Share this story");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
startActivity(chooserIntent);
EDIT: This does work for Facebook, email -- however, for some reason Twitter does NOT show up. Does anyone know why?

Creating custom chooser for share intent by package name

I have a Text in my android activity and I want give the user option to share it on social apps like whatsapp, line, facebook, twitter etc.
But I want to create a custom chooser so that it won't show unintended apps in the chooser.
I'm aware of this snippet
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share via"));
How can I make it so that in the chooser it'd only show the apps which I can specify by their package names.
Thanks

Even though I think this question is duplicated, but since I can't find the duplicated question yet, let me provide an answer first.
List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
Intent shareInent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareInent.setType("text/plain");
List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = activity.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(shareInent, 0);
// put the name of the packages you want in this ArrayList
ArrayList<String> wantedPackage = new ArrayList<>();
if (!resInfo.isEmpty()) {
for (ResolveInfo info : resInfo) {
Intent targetedShare = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
targetedShare.setType("text/plain");
String infoPackageName = info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase();
if (wantedPackage.contains(infoPackageName)) {
targetedShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "put your text here");
targetedShare.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase());
targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShare);
resPackageNames.add(infoPackageName);
}
}
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(0), "Chooser title");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
startActivity(chooserIntent);
}

add or remove options from createChooser

String message = "Text I want to share";
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("text/plain");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share,"Share on"));
right now it shows the default options like: Bluetooth, Email, Facebook, Gmail, LinkedIn, Messaging, Share Via Barcode.
or are these the installed apps?
what i want is to know, how i can remove few from this list. like i want to remove Share Via Barcode.
and add something else?
Thank You

Use below code to add a new Item to the Chooser Screen.
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("text/plain");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
Intent addIntent = ;//whatever you want
Intent chooser = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CHOOSER);
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, share );
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "title");
Intent[] intentArray = {addIntent };
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentArray);
startActivity(chooser);
But removing specific items is not possible. So you could resolve the intent using Packagemanager.resolveActivity and create your own custom list view

I used the following code to get a list of all eMail and SMS apps installed on the device:
Intent shareSMS = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("smsto", "12346556", null));
shareSMS.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
shareSMS.putExtra("sms_body", message);
Intent shareEmail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("mailto", "", null));
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> mailActivityList = pm.queryIntentActivities(shareEmail, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
List<Intent> mailIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
for (ResolveInfo resInfo : mailActivityList) {
Intent targetedOpenIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts("mailto", "", null))
.setPackage(resInfo.activityInfo.packageName)
.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, emails)
.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject)
.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
mailIntents.add(targetedOpenIntent);
}
Intent chooser = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CHOOSER);
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, shareSMS);
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Send request");
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, mailIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[] { }));
startActivity(chooser);

Adding Option to chooser
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("text/plain");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
Intent extraOptionToAdd = new Intent(this, ExtraOptionActivity.class);
extraOptionToAdd.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Text");
LabeledIntent labeledExtraOption = new LabeledIntent(extraOptionToAdd, getPackageName(), "Extra Option!", 0);
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Now!");
Intent[] intentArray = {labeledExtraOption};
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentArray);
startActivity(chooser);
