     59 [Direct Share][1] is a feature that allows apps to show their internal options directly in the
     60 system Intent chooser dialog. This sample is a dummy messaging app, and just like any other
     61 messaging apps, it receives intents for sharing a plain text. When a user shares some text from some
     62 other app, this sample app will be listed as an option. Using the Direct Share feature, this app
     63 also shows some of contacts directly in the chooser dialog.
     64 
     65 To enable Direct Share, apps need to implement a Service extending
     66 [ChooserTargetService][2]. Override the method [onGetChooserTargets][3] and return a list of Direct
     67 Share options.
     68 
     69 In your AndroidManifest.xml, add a meta-data tag in your Activity that receives the Intent. Specify
     70 android:name as android.service.chooser.chooser_target_service, and point the android:value to the
     71 Service.
