To follow up on this, the code that Mark provided pretty much has
everything you need to do the filtering. When the user clicks an item
in the presentation list, Mark has something like:
ResolveInfo launchable = mAdapter.getItem(position);
ActivityInfo activity = launchable.activityInfo;
ComponentName name = new ComponentName
(activity.applicationInfo.packageName, activity.name);
and you can do something like this to check if it's the Facebook app:
if (activity.name.equals("com.facebook.katana.ShareLinkActivity")) {
// modify intent data EXTRA_TEXT to only contain a link for
example.
}
of course you're back to seeing the bad behavior again if facebook
releases an update and changes that package/activity name,
Thanks,
Mark
