Android direct shared

Question

I am trying to share a link from my app with direct share. The share dialog must be like the image below with the most used contacts from messaging apps, like WhatsApp contacts.

This is the Intent structure which I am using for share the link:

 Intent shareIntent = ShareCompat.IntentBuilder
                        .from(getActivity())
                        .setType("text/plain")
                        .setText(sTitle+ "\n" + urlPost)
                        .getIntent();
                if (shareIntent.resolveActivity(
                        getActivity().getPackageManager()) != null)
                    startActivity(shareIntent);

And this is what my app shows:

Any idea how to achieve that?

Answer 1

You should use .createChooserIntent() instead of .getIntent()

Answer 2

Like this code below, you can use Intent.createChooser

            Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            Uri screenshotUri = Uri.parse("file://" + filePath);

            sharingIntent.setType("image/png");
            sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, screenshotUri);
            startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share image using"));
