Android.Share for social networks

Question

I'm looking for a way to share only text on social networks using Android’s shared intentions. Almost everyone offers this code

Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); shareIntent.setType("text/plain"); shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, sometext); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share using")); 

but it does not work with facebook. Is there a way to share text with all networks. Thanks.

Answer 1

You can use the social network library for direct publication on selected social networks without any code errors.

I use ASNE , it is really simple and can not only publish, but also log in or get friends

Edit : as @benka advised adding the code, as I did the posting on social networks in my application:

Add a dependency on the selected social network (facebook and twitter, but ASNE contains more):

 dependencies { ... compile 'com.github.asne:asne-facebook:0.2.1' compile 'com.github.asne:asne-twitter:0.2.1' ... } 

Just add mSocialNetworkManager from ASNE

 mSocialNetworkManager = (SocialNetworkManager) getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(SOCIAL_NETWORK_TAG); if (mSocialNetworkManager == null) { mSocialNetworkManager = new SocialNetworkManager(); FacebookSocialNetwork fbNetwork = new FacebookSocialNetwork(this, fbScope); mSocialNetworkManager.addSocialNetwork(fbNetwork); TwitterSocialNetwork twNetwork = new TwitterSocialNetwork(this, key, secret); mSocialNetworkManager.addSocialNetwork(twNetwork); getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(mSocialNetworkManager, SOCIAL_NETWORK_TAG).commit(); } 

Show buttons for sharing their custom buttons in the action bar menu, and finally check input and usage

 socialNetwork.requestPostMessage("Message"); 

that's all i need to get a friends list and i just add

 socialNetwork.requestGetFriends();

 public void onShareClick(View v) { Resources resources = getResources(); Intent emailIntent = new Intent(); emailIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND); // Native email client doesn't currently support HTML, but it doesn't hurt to try in case they fix it emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(resources.getString(R.string.share_email_native))); emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, resources.getString(R.string.share_email_subject)); emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822"); PackageManager pm = getPackageManager(); Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); sendIntent.setType("text/plain"); Intent openInChooser = Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, resources.getString(R.string.share_chooser_text)); List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = pm.queryIntentActivities(sendIntent, 0); List<LabeledIntent> intentList = new ArrayList<LabeledIntent>(); for (int i = 0; i < resInfo.size(); i++) { // Extract the label, append it, and repackage it in a LabeledIntent ResolveInfo ri = resInfo.get(i); String packageName = ri.activityInfo.packageName; if(packageName.contains("android.email")) { emailIntent.setPackage(packageName); } else if(packageName.contains("twitter") || packageName.contains("facebook") || packageName.contains("mms") || packageName.contains("android.gm")) { Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(packageName, ri.activityInfo.name)); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND); intent.setType("text/plain"); if(packageName.contains("twitter")) { intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.share_twitter)); } else if(packageName.contains("facebook")) { // Warning: Facebook IGNORES our text. They say "These fields are intended for users to express themselves. Pre-filling these fields erodes the authenticity of the user voice." // One workaround is to use the Facebook SDK to post, but that doesn't allow the user to choose how they want to share. We can also make a custom landing page, and the link // will show the <meta content ="..."> text from that page with our link in Facebook. intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.share_facebook)); } else if(packageName.contains("mms")) { intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, resources.getString(R.string.share_sms)); } else if(packageName.contains("android.gm")) { intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(resources.getString(R.string.share_email_gmail))); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, resources.getString(R.string.share_email_subject)); intent.setType("message/rfc822"); } intentList.add(new LabeledIntent(intent, packageName, ri.loadLabel(pm), ri.icon)); } } // convert intentList to array LabeledIntent[] extraIntents = intentList.toArray( new LabeledIntent[ intentList.size() ]); openInChooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, extraIntents); startActivity(openInChooser); }
