You cannot prefill a user message as that's against Facebook's Platform Policies. Any message you try to add will be stripped out by the app.

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?

Android Intent directly to Facebook sharing?

Following code works perfectly,
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "text");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Title");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share using"));
but it open a list and from this list I have to select Facebook and then everything is smooth.
But is there any config changes that can open Facebook sharing directly instead of going through the menu.

Try the following code, now the intent will open Facebook directly.
List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
Intent facebookIntent = getShareIntent("facebook", "subject", "text_or_url");
// subject may not work, but if you have a url place it in text_or_url
if(facebookIntent != null)
targetedShareIntents.add(facebookIntent);
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(0), "Delen");
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
startActivity(chooser);
// To precisely get the facebook intent use the following code
private Intent getShareIntent(String type, String subject, String text)
{
boolean found = false;
Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("text/plain");
// gets the list of intents that can be loaded.
List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = getActivity().getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(share, 0);
System.out.println("resinfo: " + resInfo);
if (!resInfo.isEmpty()){
for (ResolveInfo info : resInfo) {
if (info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().contains(type) ||
info.activityInfo.name.toLowerCase().contains(type) ) {
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, text);
share.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName);
found = true;
break;
}
}
if (!found)
return null;
return share;
}
return null;
}
Above code is extracted from this stackoverflow-post

this should be possible, if you get first all activities, that supports your intent and then get the correct and do a explicit call. To get all activities use context.getPackageManager.queryIntentActivities(Intent, int). The coding shouldn't be a big problem.

Sharing on Twitter and Facebook via android 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());
}
}
