Sharing URL to Facebook, Twitter and email in Android?


I don't know if that's what you mean but you can use the Android built-in sharing menu...

You can share a URL to Facebook, Twitter, Gmail and more (as long as the apps are installed on your device) using Intents:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);i.setType("text/plain");i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Sharing URL");i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "http://www.url.com");startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, "Share URL"));

If the app you want to share to is not installed on the user's device, for example - facebook, then you'll have to use Facebook SDK.

If you want your Activity to handle text data shared from other apps as well, you can add this to your AndroidManifest.xml:

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

Hope this helps!


You can use also ShareCompat class from support library.

ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from(activity)    .setType("text/plain")    .setChooserTitle("Share URL")    .setText("http://www.url.com")    .startChooser();

For facebook you can use `

https://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=website_url&t=titleOfThePost

website url could be any thing refereing to any resource for example if you want to get an image from internet and sharung it on your wall .

hope this would help
