How to share application link via message share application

For my application, I would like to give share option.
For this, I have edit text to give phone number and a share button. If user gives a valid number and clicks share button, list of all available message sending application should list. If user selects an application from the list then a message with the application link should send his phone using the selected application.
How can I implement this? Please help.

Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "message link");
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Chooser title text"));

try this
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"your application link"));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent,"Share using"));

Try Below code,This is exactly that you want ,
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Your_EditText_object.getText().toString());
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Your Title"));

Try this:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is my text to send.");
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, getResources().getText(R.string.send_to)));

sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + myImageFile.getAbsolutePath()));
} else if (!theText.isEmpty()) {
sharingIntent.setType("text/*");
}
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, ""); //"Subject here"
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody);

How to send Email with attachment using only email apps?

There are two requirements:
Email with attachment
In the Intent chooser, there should be only Email apps.
What I have known/done:
Intent.ACTION_SENDTO with intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:")) can make sure that there are only Email apps in Intent chooser but it will not bring attachment(For some apps like Gmail it will, but there are also many apps that will ignore attachment).
Intent.ACTION_SEND can send Email with attachment. However, in Intent chooser, there will be apps that are actually not Email apps but can response to Intent.ACTION_SEND. Using intent.setType("message/rfc822") can reduce number of those apps but not all.
References this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8550043/3952691 and nearly succeed in my goals. My code is as below:
private static void sendFeedbackWithAttachment(Context context, String subject) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> resolveInfos = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
if (resolveInfos.isEmpty()) {
Toast.makeText(context, context.getString(R.string.error_activity_not_found),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
// ACTION_SEND may be replied by some apps that are not email apps. However,
// ACTION_SENDTO doesn't allow us to choose attachment. As a result, we use
// an ACTION_SENDTO intent with email data to filter email apps and then send
// email with attachment by ACTION_SEND.
List<LabeledIntent> intents = new ArrayList<>();
Uri uri = getLatestLogUri();
for (ResolveInfo info : resolveInfos) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName);
i.setClassName(info.activityInfo.packageName, info.activityInfo.name);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { Def.Meta.FEEDBACK_EMAIL });
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
intents.add(new LabeledIntent(i, info.activityInfo.packageName,
info.loadLabel(context.getPackageManager()), info.icon));
}
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(intents.remove(0),
context.getString(R.string.send_feedback_to_developer));
chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS,
intents.toArray(new LabeledIntent[intents.size()]));
context.startActivity(chooser);
}
}
However, on some devices(For example, Xiaomi 2S with MIUI V5, I don't know if this can be influenced by a third-party rom), the result is an empty Intent chooser. And it seems that above Android 6.0, Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS has some bugs(Custom intent-chooser - why on Android 6 does it show empty cells?, and another one: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=202693).
As a result, I don't know how to achieve my goals. Please help me, thank you in advance.

Try the below code to Send a mail
String filename="filename.vcf";
File filelocation = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(), filename);
Uri path = Uri.fromFile(filelocation);
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// set the type to 'email'
emailIntent .setType("vnd.android.cursor.dir/email");
String to[] = {"asd#gmail.com"};
emailIntent .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, to);
// the attachment
emailIntent .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, path);
// the mail subject
emailIntent .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent , "Send email..."));

There are two ways to do this
OPTION 1
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(
android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
//Option 1
Uri data = Uri.parse("mailto:?subject=" + "blah blah subject"
+ "&body=" + "blah blah body" + "&to=" + "sendme#me.com");
emailIntent.setData(data);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, ""));
Result
OPTION 2
It works perfactly except it wont filter out FTP
//Option 2
emailIntent = new Intent(
android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");
final String[] toRecipients = new String[] { "sendme#me.com", "", };
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, toRecipients);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "blah blah subject");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
Html.fromHtml("blah blah body"));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, ""));
Result
Both ways have minor flaws I show you both ways it is now upto you to pick one.

Android mail client popup in app? [duplicate]

I am experiecing "This action is not currrently supported" error condition when execute the following code snippet in Android 2.1. What is wrong with the snippet?
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("mailto:myemail#gmail.com");
intent.setData(uri);
intent.putExtra("subject", "my subject");
intent.putExtra("body", "my message");
startActivity(intent);
}

If you use ACTION_SENDTO, putExtra() does not work to add subject and text to the intent. Use setData() and the Uri tool add subject and text.
This example works for me:
// ACTION_SENDTO filters for email apps (discard bluetooth and others)
String uriText =
"mailto:youremail#gmail.com" +
"?subject=" + Uri.encode("some subject text here") +
"&body=" + Uri.encode("some text here");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriText);
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
sendIntent.setData(uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send email"));

Actually I found a way where the EXTRAs work.
This is a combination of an answer I found here regarding ACTION_SENDTO
http://www.coderanch.com/t/520651/Android/Mobile/no-application-perform-action-when
and something for HTML which I found here:
How to send HTML email
(but the variant of how to use ACTION_SENDTO in this HTML post didn't work for me - I got the "action not supported" which you are seeing)
// works with blank mailId - user will have to fill in To: field
String mailId="";
// or can work with pre-filled-in To: field
// String mailId="yourmail#gmail.com";
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.fromParts("mailto",mailId, null));
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject text here");
// you can use simple text like this
// emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,"Body text here");
// or get fancy with HTML like this
emailIntent.putExtra(
Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
Html.fromHtml(new StringBuilder()
.append("<p><b>Some Content</b></p>")
.append("<a>http://www.google.com</a>")
.append("<small><p>More content</p></small>")
.toString())
);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send email..."));

You Can Try This One
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
"mailto", emailID, null));
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
Subject);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
Text);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, Choosertitle);
It Works For me

How to customize the built-in chooser(dialogue box) of share intent?

Is there any way to customize the createChooser of share intent in startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i,"Share via"));?
Showing the apps not in a dialogue box maybe in scroll view as buttons

String urlToShare = "www.google.com"
code to share link twitter
try {
Intent shareIntent = ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from(getParent())
.setType("text/plain")
.setText("Sharing text with image link \n "+urlToShare).setStream(null)
.getIntent()
.setPackage("com.twitter.android");
startActivity(shareIntent);
} catch (Exception e) {
// If we failed (not native FB app installed), try share through SEND
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
String sharerUrl = "https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=" + urlToShare;
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(sharerUrl));
startActivity(intent);
}

.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.plus");
startActivity(shareIntent);
} catch (Exception e) {

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
String sharerUrl = "https://plus.google.com/share?url=" + urlToShare;
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(sharerUrl));
startActivity(intent);
}
code to share link whatsapp
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, urlToShare);

startActivity(intent);

Yes you can do it by getting the share options as activities and pass them to your adapter, i am posting a sample code
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
List activities = this.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(sendIntent, 0);
By this you will get share Intents in activities object and then you can convert it to Object Array some thing like this
Objects[] item = activities.toArray();
for( int i=0; i<item.length; i++ ) {
ResolveInfo infoName = (ResolveInfo) items[i];
String name = info.activityInfo.name;
Drawable logo = info.loadIcon(context.getPackageManager());
// Set them to your Views
}
and when your view is clicked and you want to perform the share functionality you will do some thing like this
ResolveInfo info = (ResolveInfo) item(position);
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setClassName(info.activityInfo.packageName, info.activityInfo.name);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Your Subject");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Your Text");
startActivity(intent);

this is what i have done to share link and image to another apps something like this just try
/*
* Method to share either text or URL.
*/
private void shareTextUrl() {
Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("text/plain");
share.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
// Add data to the intent, the receiving app will decide
// what to do with it.
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Title Of The Post");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "http://www.google.com");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share link!"));
}
/*
* Method to share any image.
*/
private void shareImage() {
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// If you want to share a png image only, you can do:
// setType("image/png"); OR for jpeg: setType("image/jpeg");
share.setType("image/*");
// Make sure you put example png image named myImage.png in your
// directory
String imagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ "/myImage.png";
File imageFileToShare = new File(imagePath);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(imageFileToShare);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Image!"));
}

How to share text from the "EditText" or "Textbox" via a share button

I have a textbox(EditText) in my app & a button, what i want to do is that when anyone tap the button, the text written in the textbox(EditText) get copied & this text can be shared to any of the app such as - Messaging, Gmail, Ymail, etc.
Now What i am doing is getting the text from the "EditText" & storing it into a new variable (string) say 'a' & now applying the Intent "ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE"
Here is the CODE for Intent
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
emailIntent.setType("text/plain");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"example#gmail.com"});
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "a");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, a);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Share it via..."));

I'm not sure what your problem is, but this is how you get text from an editText
String mString= et.getText().toString();
Then put it in the share intent
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, mString);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(shareIntent);
If you want to send it as an email only, and only allow email clients to respond to the intent, it goes something like this.
Intent send = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
String uriText = "mailto:" + Uri.encode("mail to address")
+ "?subject=" + Uri.encode("subject here")
+ "&body=" + Uri.encode("body here");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriText);
send.setData(uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(send, "Send..."));
This allows you to enter the subject field & mailto field...etc

You need "createChooser" maybe:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, edittext.getText().toString());
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "chooser title"));
