Share functionality

[Joshua Herman]

Can someone give an example or tell me where to find in the
documentation of implementing the share functionality in android?

[Nicholas Aiello]

do you want to use the ACTION_SEND intent, or have your app show up under the share option?

Regards,

it's pretty straight forward. what type of data do you want to share? i've included an example for sharing an image, and email.

IMAGE

// get the Uri for the image, Uri.fromFile or whichever

Uri imageUri = ...

Intent imageIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

imageIntent.setDataAndType(imageUri, "image/jpeg");

intent = Intent.createChooser(imageIntent, "Share...");

EMAIL

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);

emailIntent.setType("plain/text");

emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{user.email});

//intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, mySubject);

//intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, myBodyText);

// this will bring up a chooser using the specified title

intent = Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail...");

You should be able to use the above examples to get started.
