ABS - ShareActionProvider: How to remove icon on right hand side

[tiptopjat]

I have implemented ShareActionProvider in my ABS.

When a user selects an app to share content with, eg Twitter, the actionbar displays a Twitter icon next to the Share button.

Does anybody know how to disable this?

Hi,

this is no ABS question but here's a solution anyway:

Implement OnShareTargetSelectedListener and set it on the
ShareActionProvider:

@Override
public boolean onShareTargetSelected(ShareActionProvider source,
Intent intent) {

context.startActivity(intent);

// started activity ourself to prevent search history
return true;
}

Now the selected share action will no longer appear in the search
history on the actionbar.

Hope this helps
Sven

Thanks for sharing this solution, but I can't get it to work.

Here's my code, should I modify anything in OnCreateOptionsMenu()?

public class MainActivity extends SherlockListActivity implements OnShareTargetSelectedListener {

        public onCreate....{}

        @Override

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)  {

// Inflate your menu.

getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.share_action_provider, menu);

// Set file with share history to the provider and set the share intent.

MenuItem actionItem = menu

.findItem(R.id.menu_item_share_action_provider_action_bar);

ShareActionProvider actionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) actionItem

.getActionProvider();

actionProvider.setShareHistoryFileName(ShareActionProvider.DEFAULT_SHARE_HISTORY_FILE_NAME);

//actionProvider.setShareIntent(createShareIntent());

return true;

}

public boolean onShareTargetSelected(ShareActionProvider source, Intent intent) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

this.startActivity(createShareIntent()); 

                 return true; 

}

private Intent createShareIntent() {

// Creates intent to share

intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

intent.setType("text/plain");

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,

"http://play.google.com");

return intent;

}

The main reason I would like to remove the application icon is because the icons have a grey border, which doesn't match my black actionbar. (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/155/20120617130029.jpg/). Do you know how I can change this from black to grey? I would be happy to keep the app icon on the action bar if I could change the grey colour.

You have to set your listener on the action provider:

    actionProvider.setOnShareTargetSelectedListener(this);

I tried this solution but it does not work. the button cannot be press this is my code below. any idea what I am missing?

@Override

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();

inflater.inflate(R.menu.tonesdetail, menu);

MenuItem actionItem = menu.findItem(R.id.share);

ShareActionProvider actionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) actionItem.getActionProvider();

actionProvider.setShareHistoryFileName(ShareActionProvider.DEFAULT_SHARE_HISTORY_FILE_NAME);

actionProvider.setOnShareTargetSelectedListener(this);

return true;

}

@Override 

        public boolean onShareTargetSelected(ShareActionProvider source, Intent intent) { 

               this.startActivity(createShareIntent()); 

        return true; 

        private Intent createShareIntent() {

       File file = new File(SharedPrefsConfig.SD_TONES+name+".mp3");

           Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

           shareIntent.setType("audio/*");

           Uri uri =  Uri.fromFile(file);

           shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);

        return shareIntent;

Set the intent to your provider.

ShareActionProvider actionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) actionItem.getActionProvider();

actionProvider.setShareIntent(createShareIntent());

...

Then,

@Override 

        public boolean onShareTargetSelected(ShareActionProvider source, Intent intent) { 

               this.startActivity(intent); 

        return true;
