Main.java

 void handleIntentFromOtherActivity() {
        Intent intent = getIntent();
        String action = intent.getAction();
        String type = intent.getType();
        if (Intent.ACTION_SEND.equals(action) && type != null) {
            if ("text/plain".equals(type)) {
                handleSendText(intent); // Handle text being sent
            }
        }
    }

    void handleSendText(Intent intent) {
        String sharedText = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT);
        if (sharedText != null) {
            // Update UI to reflect text being shared
            if(Helper.isNumeric(sharedText))
            {
                Toast.makeText(this, sharedText, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
    }

I have a numeric method that ensures the String is a number.

It would be best to pass a Double when you open my app, but I can work around if you provide me with a long or a float

Note to self:

I'll need to add some sort of acknowledgement that data has passed through, then let the user pick a converter and pass the value through to the convert activity.
