Like timely, I have seen apps with share links such as google plus, facebook, and twitter. I can use these links in html and css, but I do not know how to implement them inside the app. Like Timely, it will open a popup with three choice buttons, and the user will click one and it would open the web page. How do I do this?

While I'm well aware there is no API to directly post content to instagram, many apps I've seen have found a workaround through using the Instagram Sharing to Feed functionality via Android Implicit Intents and iOS Custom URL Schemes or Document Interaction.
My question is, would it be possible to create the same UX on a mobile website? The idea would be that user would click a App Link in their mobile web browser that opens their instagram app to share the content.
We need to implement a Share Button in our app that allows users to share images to WhatsApp Statuses or Instagram Stories.
Spotify currently has a button that allows you to share a Story to Instagram. However I haven’t been able to find any documentation on how to implement this for Instagram or WhatsApp.
Can this functionality be implemented in iOS and Android? If so how?
You can take a look to the official documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/sharing-to-stories/
Despite the instruction, my app still crash because it can't find the proper activity like explained in this question: Sharing to Facebook Stories
I'll let you now i will make some progress
When I click share icon on Google PlayStore it automatically opens the option of various applications like WhatsApp, Skype, Facebook to send URL.
Is there any code or widget to have the same accomplished?
Have a look at Intent.ACTION_VIEW and Intent.ACTION_SEND.
With a little googling you will find many code examples.
It is a common behavior. The share button associated with lots of apps on Android. So, it is part of their code.
I am working on a website and the requirement is that user's can share a page, link or image
I want to make a share button on my webpage which allows user to share a link, image, etc via the apps installed in the user's phone. How can I achieve that.
It's should be like the share panel as shown in the image below
Loks like you want something like this:
Android get url from browser
Also look through this link
https://developer.android.com/training/app-indexing/deep-linking.html
Not very clear about the question. But from what I understand, you want to share a particular page from your app, so it can be visited using a shareable link.
I think you're looking for is Deep Linking.
Update: HTML Sharing Buttons: https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/for/website
I believe that the Web Share API is what you are looking for.
It allows you to initiate the share intent via javascript. Android then displays the exact same share popup as in native apps.
Example from MDN:
navigator.share({
title: document.title,
text: 'Hello World',
url: 'https://developer.mozilla.org',
});
I've seen plenty of example where people are sharing content from their application but I want to be able to share content with my application e.g. Users can press share via then Twitter.
Does anybody know any tutorials or guides? Also would you be able to share with a service? Would be a great feature to include :) Thanks
P.S. I dont want to share with Twitter/ Facebook, I want to share from apps like the browser to my app.
Have you looked at these Developer docs?
It has an example code snippet.
You can either use the SDK's / API's available for Facebook and Twitter or else you could use Intent.ACTION_SEND to share text and images to the walls at Facebook and Twitter...
