Ok so I can get a list of names which will match my intent with the
following:
// Get apps which can handle text/plain (or at least claim to).
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND, null);
sendIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> activityList = pm.queryIntentActivities
(sendIntent, 0);
and this will give me (on my phone):
com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity
com.twidroid.SendTweet
com.facebook.katana.ShareLinkActivity
com.google.android.gm.ComposeActivityGmail
so yeah I can see facebook is handling it with ShareLinkActivity (and
I ain't sharing a link). So knowing this, I suppose I could build my
own picker dialog, and specifically modify the intent for facebook by
supplying only a url, instead of real text.
How could I find the cool little icons that each app uses to go with
my own picker dialog? I don't like doing this, I wish they did not
implement facebook like this..
Thanks
