Add a Button
and on click of the Button
add this code:
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
String shareBody = "Here is the share content body";
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject Here");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share via"));
Useful links:
For basic sharing
For customization
Create a button with an id share and add the following code snippet.
share.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
String shareBody = "Your body here";
String shareSub = "Your subject here";
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, shareSub);
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share using"));
}
});
The above code snippet will open the share chooser on share button click action. However, note...The share code snippet might not output very good results using emulator. For actual results, run the code snippet on android device to get the real results.
in kotlin :
val sharingIntent = Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND)
sharingIntent.type = "text/plain"
val shareBody = "Application Link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=${App.context.getPackageName()}"
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "App link")
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody)
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share App Link Via :"))
Share Any File as below ( Kotlin ) :
first create a folder named xml
in the res
folder and create a new XML Resource File named provider_paths.xml
and put the below code inside it :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<files-path
name="files"
path="."/>
<external-path
name="external_files"
path="."/>
</paths>
now go to the manifests
folder and open the AndroidManifest.xml
and then put the below code inside the <application>
tag :
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" /> // provider_paths.xml file path in this example
</provider>
now you put the below code in the setOnLongClickListener
:
share_btn.setOnClickListener {
try {
val file = File("pathOfFile")
if(file.exists()) {
val uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider", file)
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND)
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION)
intent.setType("*/*")
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri)
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent)
}
} catch (e: java.lang.Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
toast("Error")
}
}
