Android - How to get listed in the share menu?

I'm creating a messaging app with Air for Android. I would like to enable other apps to share text to my app via the share menu option.

How do I get my app listed in there?

(This is the menu I would like to get listed in:) enter image description here

Solution

  • Add an appropriate intent filter in your Activity tag in manifest file.

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

    Your Activity will show up, when Android searches for such Share Intent handlers.
