How to make app picker for sharing text permanent in Android?

I'm trying to make refer and earn activity in my appSo I want to permanently display a few apps like whatsapp, etc for the user to click on them and share directly.I'm using Intent to share the referral code but it pops up the apps list when the user clicks share.The code I'm using is,
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is a message");
intent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share via"));
How can I make the app chooser permanent for a few apps?

The app chooser is not intended to be displayed permanently. Therefore you will have to create simple buttons or icons and create an intent that refers to the desired app directly, by setting the package of the intent.
E.g. to share sth with WhatsApp use sth like this:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
// here comes the magic
sendIntent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is my text to send.");
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(sendIntent);
Depending on the type of content you want to share and the apps you want to share with, it makes sense to reuse the code to create the intent and just set the respective package and eventually some additional parameters.

You will need package name of app and a Intent.
change ACTION_VIEW to ACTION_SENDTO
set the Uri as you did set the
package to whatsapp
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.parse("content://com.android.contacts/data/" + c.getString(0)));
i.setType("text/plain");
i.setPackage("com.whatsapp"); // so that only Whatsapp reacts and not the chooser
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I'm the body.");
startActivity(i);

Sending message through WhatsApp

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("*/*");
intent.setPackage("com.whatsapp");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "your text content");
startActivity(intent)
I am facing same problem for share tamil font content in Whatsapp. I found the solution, this setType("*/*") share full content.

Attach image to the Messages app programatically

I'm develop an app use mms message of android.
Currently I can:
Send ssm message but not attached image by use following code:
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
smsIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
smsIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
smsIntent.putExtra("sms_body", message);
smsIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:" + phoneNumber));
((Activity) context).startActivityForResult(smsIntent, 0);
Send attach image via third party app:
Intent mmsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
mmsIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "Please see the attached image");
mmsIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, attached_Uri);
LogUtils.debug(TAG, "extension: " + extension);
mmsIntent.setType(extension);
((Activity) context).startActivityForResult(mmsIntent, 0);
My problems:
Can't attach image to default messaging app of android.
How can i detect if default messaging app of android device ( such as tablet ) not exist.
So, please guild me on this problem.
Thanks you so much.

Solution for 1st problem
Intent mmsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
mmsIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "Please see the attached image");
mmsIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, attached_Uri);
mmsIntent.setType("image/gif");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(mmsIntent,"Send"));
Solution for 2nd problem
You don't have to worry about that, Playstore will.
If you are using sms feature you would have given permission. So your app will not be vissible in playstore for SMS featureless devices
EDIT:
To include the sender address add an additional EXTRA to the intent
mmsIntent.putExtra("address","number_here");

Share Intent Not Working With Facebook Messenger

I am send an Intent with the action Intent.ACTION_SEND. This works fine and the user can pick what application to share with and so on.
The issue is when they pick Facebook Messenger to share. All I get is a white, modal screen with "Send to" in the top left and a search icon in the top right.
Here is the code that launches the intent.
Intent appIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
appIntent.setType("text/plain");
appIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Check out this app. \nhttp://www.boxshark.co.uk");
appIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Get the Boxshark app");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(appIntent,"Share"));
I get that Facebook don't allow pre filled text when you use the share intent so my "Check out this app" text is removed. I don't understand however why the Facebook Messenger app is not doing anything however.
Any ideas anyone? Can you see anything wrong with my intent?

PackageManager pm=getPackageManager();
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("image/jpeg");
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://1/"+2);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
PackageInfo info=pm.getPackageInfo("com.facebook.orca", PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
i.setPackage("com.facebook.orca");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Share with"));
1.your package name display in 1st line of your file
2.your image int value from srting which want to share
"com.facebook.orca" is facebook massanger package
Its work for me,hope your also

put only link, do not add text with link.
appIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"http://www.boxshark.co.uk")

android ACTION_SEND image and text

I want from my application to send to facebook and other applications an Image and some text so the user can share them. Currently I put the text and the image URI but when I choose facebook only the image is sent. In whatsApp also only the image is sent. In Google+ application both image and text are passed. Can someone show me the right direction?
Code example ( I don't have the original code here with me now, maybe I'll post it later)
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriToImage);
shareIntent.setType("image/png");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT , myText);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Choose an app" ));
If I change ACTION_SEND to ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE then it does not work at all. If I change type to "text/plain" or html then text is sent to whatsapp, google+ and Facebook messenger, but NOT in normal Facebook app ( it opens an empty share dialog).

You should use below lines
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("image/*");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "My image");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(filename_toshare)));// this is for image . here filename_toshare is your file path.
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "My Image ");// this is for text
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Email:"));
hope this helps you.

I can't upload the video to YouTube

This is my code to upload the video:
Intent shareIntent =new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Share");
String photoURL="sdcard/DCIM/Camera/20120518_165039.mp4";
File file = new File(photoURL);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(file));
shareIntent.setType("video/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share"));
When I run it, I choose YouTube to upload and then it will show a error Dialog:
The application My Uploads(process com.google.android.apps.uploader) has stop unexpectedly. Please try aging.
This is log:
Who know how to solve it?

Go to settings> applications> manage applications> all apps> scroll down list to>my uploads (if you can't find> com.google.Android.apps.uploader) clear data
That's all you have to do for any uploads that get stuck on sending but don't finish sending msgs.I founds this answer on Android Forum. The app is called: "my uploads" in my Droid phone settings.
