1 2 Android DirectShare Sample 3 =================================== 4 5 Sample demonstrating how to show some options directly in the list of share intent candidates. 6 7 Introduction 8 ------------ 9 10 [Direct Share][1] is a feature that allows apps to show their internal options directly in the 11 system Intent chooser dialog. This sample is a dummy messaging app, and just like any other 12 messaging apps, it receives intents for sharing a plain text. When a user shares some text from some 13 other app, this sample app will be listed as an option. Using the Direct Share feature, this app 14 also shows some of contacts directly in the chooser dialog. 15 16 To enable Direct Share, apps need to implement a Service extending 17 [ChooserTargetService][2]. Override the method [onGetChooserTargets][3] and return a list of Direct 18 Share options. 19 20 In your AndroidManifest.xml, add a meta-data tag in your Activity that receives the Intent. Specify 21 android:name as android.service.chooser.chooser_target_service, and point the android:value to the 22 Service. 23 24 [1]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/chooser/package-summary.html 25 [2]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/chooser/ChooserTargetService.html 26 [3]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/chooser/ChooserTargetService.html#onGetChooserTargets(android.content.ComponentName%2C%20android.content.IntentFilter) 27 28 Pre-requisites 29 -------------- 30 31 - Android SDK 23 32 - Android Build Tools v23.0.3 33 - Android Support Repository 34 35 Screenshots 36 ------------- 37 38 <img src="screenshots/1-main.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/2-intent.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/3-message.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> 39 40 Getting Started 41 --------------- 42 43 This sample uses the Gradle build system.
