ShareActionProvider introduce by android team in Android version 4.0 and above and this does not support any backward compatibility.
So lets create one simple demo of ShareActionProvider.
1) Update you menu file to create ShareActionProvider
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="@+id/menu_item_share"
android:actionProviderClass="android.widget.ShareActionProvider"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
android:title="Share"/>
</menu>
2) Update your MainActivity to create ShareActionProvider
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
private ShareActionProvider mShareActionProvider;
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate menu resource file.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
// Locate MenuItem with ShareActionProvider
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_share);
// Fetch and store ShareActionProvider
mShareActionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) item.getActionProvider();
setShareIntent(createShareIntent());
// Return true to display menu
return true;
}
// Call to update the share intent
private void setShareIntent(Intent shareIntent) {
if (mShareActionProvider != null) {
mShareActionProvider.setShareIntent(shareIntent);
}
}
private Intent createShareIntent() {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"http://androidtrainningcenter.blogspot.in");
return shareIntent;
}
}
3) Let see how we create an intent to share with other application
private Intent createShareIntent() {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("text/plain");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"http://androidtrainningcenter.blogspot.in");
return shareIntent;
}
