Android - Share on Facebook, Twitter, Mail, ecc
yes you can ... you just need to know the exact package name of the application:
- Facebook - "com.facebook.katana"
- Twitter - "com.twitter.android"
- Instagram - "com.instagram.android"
- Pinterest - "com.pinterest"
And you can create the intent like this
Intent intent = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(application);
if (intent != null) {
// The application exists
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setPackage(application);
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, title);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, description);
// Start the specific social application
context.startActivity(shareIntent);
} else {
// The application does not exist
// Open GooglePlay or use the default system picker
}
I think you want to give Share button, clicking on which the suitable media/website option should be there to share with it. In Android, you need to create createChooser
for the same.
Sharing Text:
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is the text that will be shared.");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent,"Share using"));
Sharing binary objects (Images, videos etc.)
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
Uri screenshotUri = Uri.parse(path);
sharingIntent.setType("image/png");
sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, screenshotUri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share image using"));
FYI, above code are referred from Sharing content in Android using ACTION_SEND Intent
Use this
Facebook - "com.facebook.katana"
Twitter - "com.twitter.android"
Instagram - "com.instagram.android"
Pinterest - "com.pinterest"
SharingToSocialMedia("com.facebook.katana")
public void SharingToSocialMedia(String application) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, bmpUri);
boolean installed = checkAppInstall(application);
if (installed) {
intent.setPackage(application);
startActivity(intent);
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Installed application first", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
private boolean checkAppInstall(String uri) {
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
try {
pm.getPackageInfo(uri, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
return true;
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
}
return false;
}
Paresh Mayani's answer is mostly correct. Simply use a Broadcast Intent to let the system and all the other apps choose in what way the content is going to be shared.
To share text use the following code:
String message = "Text I want to share.";
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("text/plain");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Title of the dialog the system will open"));
