How do I add my app to the Android 'share photo' option?

For example, when you hit share photo, it gives you a list of options to share through (Instagram, Messaging, Gmail, etc.). I want my app to appear under these 'share' options after it is installed to the device.

I tried searching for it on Google, but I'm unfamiliar with any of the terminology so my search result terms are worded too strangely to be specific.

Solution

  • Add this intent filter to your activity in the manifest:

    <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
