Android: Share Intent for Text,Image & URL

import java.io.File;

import android.os.Environment;
import android.view.View;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        View.OnClickListener handler = new View.OnClickListener() {

                    shareTextUrl();
                    break;
                case R.id.buttonShareImage:
                    shareImage();

    }
    private void shareTextUrl() {
        Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        share.setType("text/plain");
        share.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
        
        share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Title Of The Post");
        share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "http://dhruvvaishnav.blogspot.in");

        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share text to..."));
    }

    /*
     * Share any Image.
     */
    private void shareImage() {
        Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        // If you want to share a png image only, you can do:
        // setType("image/png"); OR for jpeg: setType("image/jpeg");
        share.setType("image/*");
        // Make sure you put example png image named myImage.png in your
        // directory
        String imagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                + "/myImage.png";
        File imageFileToShare = new File(imagePath);
        Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(imageFileToShare);
        share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share image to..."));
    }
}
Note: When you use the setType() method, you are enabling Android to filter what apps can share your content. For example, you are sharing a text or URL, the appropriate apps to be shown can be Facebook, Messaging or Email. If you are sharing an image, proper apps can be Instagram, or Picasa.

Customizing the Intent extras depending on the target sharer:


private void shareItem(String title, String link) {
    // Standard message to send
    String msg = title + " " + link;

    Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    share.setType("text/plain");

    List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(share, 0);
    if (!resInfo.isEmpty()) {
        List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
        Intent targetedShareIntent = null;

        for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : resInfo) {
            String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
            targetedShareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            targetedShareIntent.setType("text/plain");

            // Find twitter: com.twitter.android...
            if ("com.twitter.android".equals(packageName)) {
                targetedShareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, msg);
            } else if ("com.google.android.gm".equals(packageName)) {
                targetedShareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, title);
                targetedShareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Uri.encode(title + "\r\n" + link));
            } else if ("com.android.email".equals(packageName)) {
                targetedShareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, title);
                targetedShareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Uri.encode(title + "\n" + link));
            } else {
                // Rest of Apps
                targetedShareIntent.putExtra( android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, msg);
            }

            targetedShareIntent.setPackage(packageName);
            targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShareIntent);
        }

        Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(0), getResources().getString(R.string.share));
        chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[] {}));
        startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, 0);
    }
}

My project is going on easily but suddenly what I found below bugs when developing an app. I know it's minor bug but it may be useful to anyone. Here is the error: Error:(2) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Inverse'. Error:(2) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Button.Colored'. Solution: This happens because after updates your android studio uses API 23 by default. 1) First check that your compile SDK version must match the support library's major version. If you are using version 23 of the support library, you need to compile against version 23 of the Android SDK. Alternatively you can continue compiling against version 22 of the Android SDK by switching to the latest support library v22.   2) Go to your project structure -> Properties -> and change Build tool version to...

Android: Google Map V2

1. Downloading Google Play Services Google made new Maps V2 API as a part of Google Play Services SDK. So before we start developing maps we need to download google play services from SDK manger. You can open SDK manager either from Eclipse or from android sdk folder. Open Eclipse ⇒ Windows ⇒ Android SDK Manager and check whether you have already downloaded Google Play Services or not under Extras section. If not select play services and install the package.  2. Importing Google Play Services into Eclipse After downloading play services we need to import it to Eclipse which will be used as a library for our maps project. 1 . In Eclipse goto File ⇒ Import ⇒ Android ⇒ Existing Android Code Into Workspace 2 . Click on Browse and select Google Play Services project from your android sdk folder. You can locate play services library project from android-sdk-windows\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib 3 . Importantly while importin...
