Android Question List only certain apps in the Share intent popup?

[Inman]

I know I can share using the system's builtin share intent but that intent will list all the apps that support that particular type. For example if I set the intent type as text/plain, most apps like Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp etc will be listed.

But what if I want to exclude Facebook alone, while listing other apps in the list. Is this possible?

 

[Erel]

Yes. See PackageManager.QueryIntentActivities.

Thank you. I saw it just now. So I can get this list of apps that will handle a particular type of intent.

Now how can I create an IntentChooser popup based on this customized list?

 

[Erel]

Not with IntentChooser. You can show the icons in your app directly.

I found some Java code to do this. If possible, could you please convert it to B4A using JavaObjects or Reflection library?

You could create a ListView and add all the apps able to open the specific type.

 

[Inman]

That is true. But I would like to display it exactly like the Share popup, but with a filtered list of apps I choose.

You can convert this code to a small library: https://gist.github.com/mediavrog/5625602

It will be difficult to implement it with reflection of JavaObject.

Alright thanks I will checkout the code
