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?

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);
I am trying to share some data from my app. I have to send different text in case of Email and different text in case user chooses other app.
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("ye");
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
Intent openInChooser = Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Share via");
List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = pm.queryIntentActivities(sendIntent, 0);
List<LabeledIntent> intentList = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i=0;i<resInfo.size();i++)
{
ResolveInfo ri = resInfo.get(i);
String packageName = ri.activityInfo.packageName;
Log.d("package", i + " " + packageName);
if(packageName.contains("android.email")){
emailIntent.setPackage(packageName);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is email");
}
else
{
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packageName,ri.activityInfo.packageName));
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Sharing via other app");
intent.setPackage(packageName);
intentList.add(new LabeledIntent(intent, packageName, ri.loadLabel(pm), ri.icon));
}
}
LabeledIntent [] extraIntents = new LabeledIntent[intentList.size()];
extraIntents = intentList.toArray(extraIntents);
openInChooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, extraIntents);
startActivity(openInChooser);
I have given a random string in my original intent in setType so that it displays only the chosen apps.However when I click on share an empty window comes up.
I have checked with debugger and my extraIntents contains 24 intents. Its after startActivity that nothing comes up in my choosing options.
Update (Sept 9, 2020):
It seems the intents passed with EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS does not work the same on Android OS 10 and above. On the share sheet, it shows a new section with text, "Direct share not available", and share sheet does not show apps like WhatsApp that supports direct share.
Original Answer
In your case, emailIntent returns 0 apps because of random Type you have set. In
Intent openInChooser = Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Share via");
if the intent you pass returns 0 apps then it ignores EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS flag.
Possible solution,
......
extraIntents = intentList.toArray(extraIntents);
Intent firstIntent = extraIntents.remove(0); // assuming you will have at least one Intent
Intent openInChooser = Intent.createChooser(firstIntent, "Share via");
openInChooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, extraIntents);
startActivity(openInChooser);
I had a code in pre-Marshmallow application that selected only some of the installed applications that implement the Intent.ACTION_SEND and the show a Intent.createChooser with only those. This is the full code:
Intent actionSendIntent = new Intent();
actionSendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
actionSendIntent.setType("text/plain");
List<ResolveInfo> resInfos = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(actionSendIntent, 0);
List<Intent> shareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
if(!resInfos.isEmpty()){
for(ResolveInfo res : resInfos){
final String packageName = res.activityInfo.packageName;
if (packageName.contains("com.twitter.android") ||
packageName.contains("com.facebook.katana") ||
packageName.contains("com.facebook.lite") ||
packageName.contains("com.whatsapp")) {
final Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packageName, res.activityInfo.name));
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "text");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "subject");
intent.setPackage(packageName);
shareIntents.add(intent);
}
}
}
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(shareIntents.remove(0), shareText);
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, shareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(chooserIntent, shareText));
This code does not work in Marshmallow and show Android System as the only available option... does anyone know why?
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:
What I want:
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.

I'm developing an adroid app with wich I can share text (and later pictures too) via facebook and twitter. I found some code which is opening the facebook/twitter sharing window but the text that needs to be shared is in an EditText in the app so my question is how can i insert my text from the EditText to te text that will be shared (sorry for the bad english if you need further explanation or you didn't understood anything then i will try too explain it better). This is my code for both sharing methods:
Facebook:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(
android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
(String) v.getTag(R.string.app_name));
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
(String) v.getTag(R.drawable.ic_launcher));
PackageManager pm = v.getContext().getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> activityList = pm.queryIntentActivities(
shareIntent, 0);
for (final ResolveInfo app : activityList) {
if ((app.activityInfo.name).contains("facebook")) {
final ActivityInfo activity = app.activityInfo;
final ComponentName name = new ComponentName(
activity.applicationInfo.packageName,
activity.name);
shareIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
shareIntent.setComponent(name);
v.getContext().startActivity(shareIntent);
break;
}
}
Twitter:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(
android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
(String) v.getTag(R.string.app_name));
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
(String) v.getTag(R.drawable.ic_launcher));
PackageManager pm = v.getContext().getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> activityList = pm.queryIntentActivities(shareIntent, 0);
for (final ResolveInfo app : activityList) {
if ("com.twitter.android.PostActivity"
.equals(app.activityInfo.name)) {
final ActivityInfo activity = app.activityInfo;
final ComponentName name = new ComponentName(
activity.applicationInfo.packageName,
activity.name);
shareIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
shareIntent.setComponent(name);
v.getContext().startActivity(shareIntent);
break;
}
}
Use this method to share photo with text. Call this method and pass argument nameofapp and imagepath. Name of app means like on which you want to share like gmail , facebook , twitter.
private void share(String nameApp, String imagePath,String text) {
try
{
List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(share, 0);
if (!resInfo.isEmpty()){
for (ResolveInfo info : resInfo) {
Intent targetedShare = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
targetedShare.setType("image/jpeg"); // put here your mime type
if (info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().contains(nameApp) || info.activityInfo.name.toLowerCase().contains(nameApp)) {
targetedShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, text);
targetedShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,text);
targetedShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(imagePath)) );
targetedShare.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName);
targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShare);
}
}
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(0), "Select app to share");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
startActivity(chooserIntent);
}
}
catch(Exception e){
}
}
Use this for facebook :-
try {
File filePath = "/mnt/sdcard/vmphoto.jpg"; //This is imagefile path in your change it acc. to your requirement.
share("facebook",filePath.toString(),"Hello"); <<<<<Hello is text. send acc. to you req.
}
catch(Exception e) {
//exception occur might your app like gmail , facebook etc not installed or not working correctly.
}
For twitter
try {
File filePath = "/mnt/sdcard/vmphoto.jpg"; //This is imagefile path in your change it acc. to your requirement.
share("twitter",filePath.toString(),"Hello"); <<<<<Hello is a text send acc. to you req.
}
catch(Exception e) {
//exception occur might your app like gmail , facebook etc not installed or not working correctly.
}
For attaching image on gmail,facebook,twitter with text use below code.
File filePath = context.getFileStreamPath("vmphoto.jpg");
share("gmail",filePath.toString());
share("facebook",filePath.toString());
share("twitter",filePath.toString());
// code of share(String nameApp,String imagePath) function
void share(String nameApp, String imagePath) {
try
{
List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/jpeg");
List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(share, 0);
if (!resInfo.isEmpty()){
for (ResolveInfo info : resInfo) {
Intent targetedShare = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
targetedShare.setType("image/jpeg"); // put here your mime type
if (info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().contains(nameApp) || info.activityInfo.name.toLowerCase().contains(nameApp)) {
targetedShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Sample Photo");
targetedShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"This photo is created by App Name");
targetedShare.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(imagePath)) );
targetedShare.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName);
targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShare);
}
}
Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(0), "Select app to share");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
startActivity(chooserIntent);
}
}
catch(Exception e){
Log.v("VM","Exception while sending image on" + nameApp + " "+ e.getMessage());
}
}
