Apps Share Intent

[SoFFacet]

I was wondering how do I create a share intent in my app, like the one in the gallery app that is created when you hit the share button.

Something like this?

Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Some text");
shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Some other text");

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Title for chooser"));

If it's an image/video, you can do it the same way as the gallery:

private void startShareMediaActivity(IImage image) {
    boolean isVideo = image instanceof VideoObject;
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    intent.setType(image.getMimeType());
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, image.fullSizeImageUri());
    try {
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, getText(
                isVideo ? R.string.sendVideo : R.string.sendImage)));
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
        Toast.makeText(this, isVideo
                ? R.string.no_way_to_share_image
                : R.string.no_way_to_share_video,
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

Thank you, that was very helpful.

I was testing it out by plugging the gallery share code into some other code I have but am experiencing some problems. First of all it wont recognize IImage or VideoObject. I though maybe it could be fixed via auto-importing with Cntl-Shift-O, which is what I usually do when I get this error message, but it didn't work. Any ideas?

IImage and VideoObject are classes defined in the camera app:
android.git.kernel.org Git - platform/packages/apps/Camera.git/blob - src/com/android/camera/gallery/IImage.java
android.git.kernel.org Git - platform/packages/apps/Camera.git/blob - src/com/android/camera/gallery/VideoObject.java

sharing for facebook didn't work. it just refresh the browser and nothing happened after that. here is my code

public void share() {
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Sharing");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"Go to this link " +"http://www.google.com/");

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent,
"Select an action for sharing"));
}

thnx to read the post. I want to draw graph with multiple lines(here is two case but I have at least 20 cases). I can't understand how intent works in multiple case. can any one please help me?

my Code is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
XYMultipleSeriesDataset dataset = new XYMultipleSeriesDataset();
XYMultipleSeriesRenderer mRenderer = new XYMultipleSeriesRenderer();

switch (TermDimenSnRow)
{
case 1:
int[] x = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 }; // x values!
int[] y = { 30, 34, 45, 57, 77, 89, 100, 111 ,123 ,145 }; // y values!
TimeSeries series = new TimeSeries("Line1");
for( int i = 0; i < x.length; i++)
{
series.add(x, y);
}
dataset.addSeries(series);
XYSeriesRenderer renderer = new XYSeriesRenderer();
mRenderer.addSeriesRenderer(renderer);
break
case 2:
int[] x2 = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 }; // x values!
int[] y2 = { 145, 123, 111, 100, 89, 77, 57, 45, 34, 30}; // y values!
TimeSeries series2 = new TimeSeries("Line2");
for( int i = 0; i < x2.length; i++)
{
series2.add(x2, y2);
}
dataset.addSeries(series2);
XYSeriesRenderer renderer2 = new XYSeriesRenderer();
mRenderer.addSeriesRenderer(renderer2);

break;
}

Intent intent = ChartFactory.getLineChartIntent(context, dataset, mRenderer, "Line Graph");
return intent;
