Due to Facebook not handling any text in share intent (ACTION_SEND), and not trying to fix it (it is a "feature"), lets remove it from share dialog - as otherwise it results in broken user experience and most likely users will blame us not the Facebook. Bug on Facebook issue tracker https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/332619626816423
// Usage:
// your share intent
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "some text");
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "a subject");
// invoke custom chooser that contains all apps just without Facebook
startActivity(Tools.customChooserIntentNoFb(intent, "Share using", context));
// Method:
public static Intent customChooserIntentNoFb(Intent target, String shareTitle, Context context) {
// blacklist
String[] blacklist = new String[]{"com.facebook.katana"};
List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();
List<HashMap<String, String>> intentMetaInfo = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
Intent chooserIntent;
Intent dummy = new Intent(target.getAction());
dummy.setType(target.getType());
List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(dummy, 0);
if (!resInfo.isEmpty()) {
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : resInfo) {
if (resolveInfo.activityInfo == null || Arrays.asList(blacklist).contains(resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName))
continue;
HashMap<String, String> info = new HashMap<String, String>();
info.put("packageName", resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName);
info.put("className", resolveInfo.activityInfo.name);
info.put("simpleName", String.valueOf(resolveInfo.activityInfo.loadLabel(context.getPackageManager())));
intentMetaInfo.add(info);
}
if (!intentMetaInfo.isEmpty()) {
// sorting for nice readability
Collections.sort(intentMetaInfo, new Comparator<HashMap<String, String>>() {
@Override
public int compare(HashMap<String, String> map, HashMap<String, String> map2) {
return map.get("simpleName").compareTo(map2.get("simpleName"));
}
});
// create the custom intent list
for (HashMap<String, String> metaInfo : intentMetaInfo) {
Intent targetedShareIntent = (Intent) target.clone();
targetedShareIntent.setPackage(metaInfo.get("packageName"));
targetedShareIntent.setClassName(metaInfo.get("packageName"), metaInfo.get("className"));
targetedShareIntents.add(targetedShareIntent);
}
chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(targetedShareIntents.size() - 1), shareTitle);
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
return chooserIntent;
}
}
return Intent.createChooser(target, shareTitle);
