How to use dynamic text in android ShareActionProvider
I want to share dynamic text using ShareActionProvider. I am using this code in my snippet:
@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.detailfragment, menu);
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_share);
private ShareActionProvider mShareActionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) MenuItemCompat.getActionProvider(menuItem);
if (mForecast != null) {
mShareActionProvider.setShareIntent(createShareForecastIntent());
}
}
private Intent createShareForecastIntent() {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, editText.getText().toString());
return shareIntent;
}
This will strip the text that was before entering the Activity, even if I change it in the EditText before clicking the share button. And this code works the way I want, but I don't want to make a separate button for sharing:
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.button:
Intent myIntent = new Intent();
myIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
myIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, editText.getText().toString());
myIntent.setType("text/plain");
startActivity(myIntent);
break;
default:
//
}
}
I use:
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 19
+3

Update yours shareIntent
when the text changes using TextWatcher
. This example project has an activity that only does what you describe:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.actions, menu);
share=
(ShareActionProvider)menu.findItem(R.id.share)

share.setOnShareTargetSelectedListener(this);
return(super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu));
}
@Override
public boolean onShareTargetSelected(ShareActionProvider source,
Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(this, intent.getComponent().toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return(false);
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, s.toString());
share.setShareIntent(shareIntent);
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
int after) {
// ignored
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
int count) {
// ignored
}
}
Note that I'm not sure if a call is needed setShareIntent()
every time the text changes; I didn't try to remove this and just update additional ones.
