Yes.I am the programmer here and it is my own app. The devices that I am
testing on have Play store installed. I assume that the correct intent has
to be created with
Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
It has to be started with
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share via"));
The problem is how to set the information in the intent(the code between
creating the intent and starting it).I used this code before and it started
the web page for the app without problems:
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Product
name");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=example.package";);
I try to replace this with the following code, which should start Google
play:
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Product
name");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
Uri.parse("market://details?id=example.package"));
This results in that the link to the appstore is not included when I try to
share the link from Facebook. I test with 2 different devices, which both
have Google play. I also try with
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Product
name");
sharingIntent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=example.package"));
This resulted in the error message "can not find the application to perform
this action". Do you know how I can solve this problem? I have replaced the
package name of my app with an example package in this thread, but I am
using the correct package name when I am testing.
