Android app - Adding a “share” button to share the app on social networks

Android Android Development

I have an app, and I’d like to add a share button to it. Once the button is clicked, I’d like it to open the following window:

Then the user will choose where to share it and it will display the following default message: “Just found this great app! Find it here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ideashower.readitlater.pro”

Can you please tell me how to do it?

Thanks! Will be very helpful!

There are three different ways by which you can do it.

Time for self promotion:

  1. Action bar sherlock for older android versions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQpeRkBe1Rs
  2. Android direct action bar api for newer android versions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1FuepS9hBc
  3. Invoking that dialog from a button inside app/title bar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRZdP9n9ieM

AND remember to wrap the intent creating in a try{} block… in case Intent.ACTION_SEND is not available. I got bitten by a similar one when trying to launch Google Play …
